Influences
World's traditional, Jazz, Classical & anything I hear
Born in Osaka. Been in Jazz firm since 1980. Spent 1988-1990 in NYC. Performed as the member of numerous bands such as "Zenryoku Onnanies"(1993-2001), "Shibusa Shiraz, Moers Jazz Festival Germany, 1997", "Rico Rodriguez Band, 1999", "Machine Translations, 1999-2000 Big Day Out/Woodford Fes" etc.
It is incredible to find or been found by someone who creates wonderful arts including the ones possibly on the other side of the planet.
I am liking the idea of actual corporation/creating the art works together through the network in many levels as well as the virtual friendship.
I feel most comfortable playing stringed instruments but basically cannot help enjoying any musical instruments come across.
I am now in Byron Bay Australia. Been 'round here for nearly 8years. Time flies...
The project that I am currently most tuned is the band is Slim Buddhas
Jazz, Mambo, Tango etc. turns into Tri-Hop. Brand new band!

Kunvuk needs you this Saturday! If you are dragging your hapless torso towards or around Rydalmere and are of the age to have been born then come by the Warehouse Showroom and throw insults and horns!
OUT NOW on Idiosyncratics Records : Phil Maggi - Blue FIelds in Paramount CD
Blue Fields in Paramount is a very personal and fascinating opus, a beautiful introduction to the style of this talented artist, that could be qualified as 'dark psychedelia for daydream believers'. It has been mastered by James Plotkin (Khlyst, Khanate, Old, Phantom) and is out now as a stricly limited to 300 copies ekopack edition with a fantastic artwork by czech artist Jan Karpisek.
