Kanoko Nishi-Smith
&
Jacob Felix Heule
duo
Kanoko Nishi-Smith
(koto) and
Jacob Felix Heule
(bass drum) play freely improvised acoustic noise. Raw, brutal, textural, and often very quiet, they obsessively explore the secret sounds of their instruments. The duo has been playing together since 2007, and often collaborates with others, including albums with Kyle Bruckmann, Danishta Rivero, gabby fluke-mogul, Tom Djll, and Tony Dryer.
