食品まつり a.k.a foodman

食品まつり a.k.a foodman a.k.a Takahide Higuci is an electronic music producer and visual artist based in Tokyo. His renaissance-like take on and knowledge of music is probably the most positively disconcerting trait of his work. He negotiates various song forms and combines diverse genres – ranging from techno, house, pop, raw electronic percussion to concretism, footwork, and ambient - with an incredibly creative, musical, and wild take on melody, harmony, timbre and syncopation. And yet Foodman’s work is not obsessed with variety as fetish or gratuitous imposition. Instead, it is a profoundly cultured, intuitive and open take on the possibilities of all the vocabularies that he observes and masters with precision. He has released work on numerous labels including Digitalis, Noumenal Loom, Patient Sounds Intl., Good Enuff, Dubliminal Bounce, Бh○§†, Sound Of Romances, Melting Bot, and Orange Milk, the last of which rcently released his acclaimed album ‘Ez Minzoku’.
