Ichi

ICHI, from Nagoya in Japan, takes the notion of a one-man band to new limits, combining handmade instrument inventions (stilt-bass, kalilaphone, balloon-pipes, hatbox-pedal-drum, tapumpet, percussion-shoes & hattrick-hat) with steel-drum, ping-pong balls, typewriter, toys & everyday objects all in the space of one short set. A guaranteed chance to see something new – playful and inspired.

With his simple concepts and playful presentation ICHI has universal appeal and tours extensively as a solo artist in Japan, the UK, Europe, and further afield. He has played at many festivals worldwide including End of the Road, Latitude, Glastonbury, Green Man, Wildreness, Boomtown, Farm Fest, In the Woods, Great Escape, Late at the Tate, Remix, Camp Bestival, Fusion (Berlin), Clockenflapp (Hong Kong). Woodford (Australia), Worldless Music Festival (New York) and Mandstock (Italy).
