My NTS
Live now

London
03:00 - 05:00

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

Rose tinted selections in a one-off guest session from alt-R'n'B singer and songwriter, Liv.e.

Yann Tomita

Yann Tomita

Yann Tomita has been played on NTS over 20 times, featured on 23 episodes and was first played on 14 June 2015.

Yann Tomita (ヤン富田, born 1952) is an avant-garde composer based in Tokyo, Japan. He is also the first professional Japanese steelpan player.

During the 1980s, he pioneered various music fields, including Hip Hop, Dub, Acid Jazz, Monde, Exotica, Electronic, lounge, and space age music. He was also part of the band Water Melon Group with Toshio Nakanishi. In the 1990s, he formed bands Doopees and Astro Age Steel Orchestra. Since then, he has also formed Naives in the mid-2000s.

He's even the president of the Audio Science Laboratory Research Service. Wow!

His first solo was Music For Astro Age, released in 1992. After delving in some side-projects, he released a follow-up, Music For Living Sound, in 1998. He's also released one live album, An Adventure of Inevitable Chance in 2000, which is composed of two performances from April 1993. In 2008, he released an collaborative work made with Kyoko Koizumi, Linda Yamamoto, Cymbals, and Kahimi Karie entitled Forever Yann Music Meme 4 - Variations.
