A pioneer in the distinctly Japanese sonics of "environmental" sound design, composer Takashi Kokubo began his solo career in the early 1980s, making synthesizer compositions inspired by classical music in the vein of fellow Japanese composer Isao Tomita, but across the following decades, his productions would pay deep homage to the sounds of the natural world and its spiritually soothing properties – as both inspiration for his music, and as a prominent feature in the music itself.

Max Tundra’s Rotogravure

With Max Tundra

Max Tundra’s Rotogravure comes home to NTS, returning to the airwaves after a seven-year absence. The original show went out on Resonance FM every week between 2007 and 2011. Those tuning in could expect to hear a truly eclectic mixture of music, from calm to unsettling, with acts like Harmonia, Ivor Cutler, Material, The Fiery Furnaces, Autechre, Cornelius, Joyce Sims, Ultra Vivid Scene, John Adams, Bill Nelson, Sheila E, Melvins, Toumani Diabaté, Ruins, Leoncie, The Supremes, Haruomi Hosono, Arthur Russell, Unique 3, Steely Dan, Ligeti, Tonto’s Expanding Head Band, Solex, Todd Rundgren, Phuture, The Fugs, Royal Trux, Scritti Politti and hundreds of others from Tundra’s record collection, which he began amassing at the age of 7 after wandering into his local newsagent and buying one of the 49p ex-jukebox 7”s on offer in those days (probably “I’m In The Mood For Dancing” by The Nolans).
