Bio:

.. "Heavy, ominous psychedelic free-improv from Tokyo, Japan. Tetragrammaton is a trio featuring Nobunaga Ken on drums and percussion, Cal Lyall on electronics and guitar, and TOMO on hurdy-gurdy, saxophone and electronics, and have in the past collaborated with members of Zeni Geva, Acid Mothers Temple, Taj Mahal Travellers, and Damo Suzuki from Can.
Dark, heavy speaker-shaking improv that when it really kicks in with full gale force turns into something akin to Skullflower and Hototogisu mixed together with the crushing free-jazz of Borbetomagus and the jet-black psychedelia of Fushitsusha."
- Crucial Blast Records

"It’s as though they’re systematically summoning the ghosts of Tony Conrad, Henry Flynt and the entire ensemble from Le Stelle di Mario Schifano, these three Uber-musicians achieving in a live environment what those aforementioned mega-line-ups rarely achieved, ie: a seamlessly slick & coherent Cuntedness that bubbles at the base of your melted plastic brain, simmers your Ur-spirit and accelerates it into the Cosmos with extraordinary precision."
