No, seriously, this is the hardest blog post I’ve had to think up a title for yet, so I went with the sexual innuendo.
I’m pretty sure that’s a guy but I can’t really tell anymore with Japanese style humans. I’ve seen way too many fuckably hot girls on the cover of Japanese magazines that have turned out to be guys for me to really even care anymore. At some point, you think, “shit, I’d probably try to hit that even knowing he’s a guy, because you could easily get drunk enough to forget that.” But that’s not really the point. The point is, this person is synthesizing music from smacking their head and throat singing through an electric larynx being picked up by a bone conduction microphone. I’m not sure if the electric larynx is what’s going into his nose, or if that’s the mic. All I know is it’s crazy and I’m gonna check out more of his music.

There’s also a junk percussionist.. who marches.
