About Me


tokoloten has been fighting against heavy metal contamination in the seaweeds of (unknown) swiss lagoons for years. This explains the 3-o name, mispelled though (ask japanese if you don't get it...). This might sound strange (literally it is) but it ended up in some musical inspiration... brackish music? Just listen... tokoloten is now running a live-act involving guitar and laptop: tiny or huge noise, weird atmospheres, overdriven beats. Unable to play guitar like Frank Zappa (that is pretty normal actually), he uses a variety of objects such as magnet motors, gamepads, fingers(?)... in order to hide this lack of technic.

I met Taeji Sawai in 2004 but I've been following his work since earlier. He's more into arts than music actually. As a member of the portable[k]ommunity, he's realized some sound/visual installations...

Merzbow & Otomo's videos

-- MERZBOW --Here above is a video of Merzbow. It has actually two parts. The first part is a live shot in Kung-Tu, Korea. It really looks to be in the middle of nowhere. I must say that I regret that...
