Guitarist Takeshi Nishimoto embraces and expresses music from the European, Northern Indian, and American jazz classical traditions. He has performed extensively as a solo artist, as well as in collaborations with musicians that range from the late sitar master Rahul Sakyaputra to electronic composer John Tejada.
Born in Fukuoka, Japan, Takeshi came to the United States for one primary reason-to study guitar. As a student in the University of Southern California Thornton school of music guitar program, Takeshi gained a firm foundation in the classical tradition from some of the world's premiere guitar players such as James Smith, Scott Tennant, Bill Kanengizer, and Brian Head. In addition to European classical music, Nishimoto also explored jazz with Joe Diorio and David Oaks. Also, Takeshi had the jazz guitar legend Phil Upchurch as his mentor. In 2004, Nishimoto start playing the northern Indian classical instrument "Sarod" under the guidance of Pt. Rajeev Taranath.
Beyond USC, Takeshi also received personal instruction from the legendary Pepe Romero, playing in four of his master classes. What these teachers, as well his audiences appreciate in Takeshi is his relentless pursuit of musical innovation. He is very open, and that openness extends to his playing. He sees no conflict between the new and the old, and that is part of what makes his music so compelling.
Restoration Record’ s highly
awaited eighth release is the most powerful sonic weapon to face up
this hard times. Captain Power and the soldiers of the future will lead
the riot of the machines in order to restore the analogue kingdom.
Humans and machines, blood and fire, souls and transistors are
operating together to fight the conformism and the loss of values
imposed by the mass communication of this post-industrial era.
THIRD
SIDE is the new operative group of Restoration, formed by MARIEU,
LUCRETIO and by resident dj of Panorama Bar STEFFI (Klakson/Ostgut
Ton).“Ready to Dance” is a dancefloor disco-bomb, funky and sexy but
minimalistic at the same time. Very essential in its build-up, its bass
line is addicting and relentless and its bass drum is powerful. We are
ready to dance, it’s time to jack!
ANALOGUE COPS.. "Chamber" is a
strong dark track in which a massive 808 drum explosion runs together
with an ultra-pitched down voice sample. Rushing percussions, piercy
hi-hats, a breathless progression. An experiment which turns into a
solid club tack.
On side B, “Still me” represents LUCRETIO’s
vocation to neoclassicism. The time disappears and a gospel organ full
of motown reminiscences reminds the most soulful works appeared on
Planet Earth. Dramatic and sweet, it’s evocative and hopeful.
LUCRETIO’s track on Rst006 appears on Tama Sumo’s “Panorama Bar - Mix
Cd”.
“Mauzy” is MARIEU deepest track on Restoration. Beat-down
smashing 909 drums, punchy snares, delightful piano chords, sharp
cymbals, a praising voice. A track for a spiritual elevation, a track
to dance until the last second. A track to listen to a million of
times.
