Keiji Haino Solo

What: Opening a three night festival in collaboration with the Whitney, ISSUE Project Room presents Keiji Haino in his first ever solo vocal concert in New York. Legendary Japanese guitarist Keiji Haino’s work has included rock, free improvisation, noise, singing, songwriting, solo percussion, psychedelic, minimalism and drone styles, and covers.  

Performing since the 1970s, he is known for intensely cathartic sound explorations. Cutting across his body of work is a deep connection to the French poet and playwright Antonin Artaud. Haino’s unaccompanied wordless screamed vocal performances mark the clearest influence of Artaud’s obsession, with a voice violently severed from the body.
