Welcome to Taichi Junction! In this virtual space, I share my passion for exploring the intersections of diverse musical traditions. As a drummer, percussionist, and composer known for my signature cross-cultural fusions, I invite you on an auditory adventure that transcends boundaries.
With a PhD in Ethnomusicology and Composition from SOAS, University of London, my research delves into the transportability of musical elements and the dialogue between Japanese and Western instruments. This academic foundation informs my creative approach, enabling me to weave together seemingly disparate musical worlds.
Join me as I navigate the world of cross-genre collaborations, blending traditional Japanese instruments like the shakuhachi and koto with the rhythms and harmonies of the West. Experience the captivating synergy of ancient and modern, East and West.
Taichi Junction is not merely a website; it’s a platform for musical exploration and exchange. I invite you to journey with me, discover the beauty of cross-cultural fusions, and become part of the global musical conversation.
