Kazuya Ohtani Update

Our dear friend, and ex-member, guitarist/keyboardist/composer Kazuya Ohtani now lives in his native home of Hiroshima, Japan. Since leaving the UK he enjoyed some time with family in a more rural place than London, and is eager to tell of what he's now working on: Project NOW! for the total abolition of nuclear weapons.

Project NOW! Total Abolition of Nuclear Weapons Project

http://soundcloud.com/kazuy-1 is still the place to hear his music. There is always something new and beautiful there.


Kazuya, playing guitar and mostly piano with PDG, spontaneously composed a lot of the ideas that the band rearranges now. This includes New Jersey Cutters (guitar), the bassline of Come On Baby, Show Me Something, Another Digital Hit, Mr. Nemo, Compass Lost, Nobodys Only, and even My Private Anarchy which has changed almost completely (all originally piano). The rough EVENING EDITION EP, released for the Japan Tsunami Appeal in April of 2011 at Protagonists of David Gadsdon's first live performance, consisted of piano compositions by Kaz. 


Kaz inspired the atmosphere for Fragile Alliance in early 2011, one that has only been performed without drums at MIRROR MIRROR, Ryans Bar, London on 26.1.12. 


Come and listen Febuary 19th at the Underbelly in Hoxton, London, opening for anarchistwood. £5, £3 before 8pm. With Patricide and Lunar Engine (Buck from Book of Buzz singing!)
