Some of the more extreme Japanese improvisers like Keiji Haino and Musioca Transonic still haven't been assimilated into the mainstream, and given the nature of their music I doubt they ever will be.


Per my reply immediately above I expected the Zorn related artists to get much more of a mention. Maybe that makes them even more the outsiders!


Ah, I see now - I missed that post due to skim-reading the thread on my lunchbreak, but I agree - Mr Haino's work still seems to confound and irritate most people I know, even those who are musicians. One of my ex-bandmates still refuses to believe that his entire career is anything other than an elaborate joke. Having said that, I think there is humour in his work - I can't imagine that a man who refuses to take off his sunglasses even in front of his cat, or writes pieces with titles like "Once Again I Cast Myself Into the Flames of Atonement" takes himself entirely seriously.
