TATSUYA NAKATANI Tatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde percussionist, composer, and artist of sound. Active internationally since the 1990s, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings and tours extensively, performing over 150 concerts a year. His primary focus is his solo work and his large ensemble project, the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. He teaches master classes and lectures at universities and music conservatories around the world. Originally from Japan, he makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. With his activity in new music, improvisation, and experimental music, Nakatani has a long history of collaboration.Nakatani's distinctive music centered around his adapted bowed gong, supported by an array of drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. In consort with his personally hand-carved Kobo Bows, he has spent decades refining and developing his sound as an arrangement of formations of vibrations, incorporated in shimmering layers of silence and texture. Within this contemporary work, one can still recognize the dramatic pacing, formal elegance and space (ma) felt in traditional Japanese music.

Soon he was playing and recording with many of the Bluff City’s top musicians and bands while logging many hours performing as a member of the house band at B.B. King’s Blues Club. His talents have led him around the world providing opportunities to perform, record and jam with a wide variety of well-known musicians, producers and music legends. The short list includes Ra Kalam Bob Moses, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Levon Helm, Justin Timberlake, Jonny Lang, JJ Grey and MOFRO, Galactic, the Allman Brothers Band, Jim Dickinson, Dr. John, Snoop Dogg, Lucero as well as many others.
