Radio Play:
On Haino's 61st birthday yesterday, the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation NHK
broadcasted Haino's track "Umaku-Dekinai" from his 1st album "Watashidake"
on the Punk & New Wave special program on NHK-FM (http://www9.nhk.or.jp/zanmai/program/130503.html).
This was first broadcast of Haino in 40 years on NHK since they banned Haino
after his appearance on its TV program w/Magical Power Mako in February 1973.
Reportedly, after Haino's appearance on the live broadcasting TV show "Hiru no Present (Gift of lunchtime)"on NHK with Magical Power Mako in 1973,
the producer of the program was demoted by complaints flooding in from the viewers.

Book Release:
Since 1995, this site, "An Unofficial Keiji Haino Website",
has been maintained by the staff of the Poison Pie Publishing House
at www.poisonpie.com. In addition to more than a passing interest in the music of Keiji Haino, the site maintenance man,
David J. Keffer, maintains an active interest in the broader world of non-idiomatic improvisation including
teaching a course titled The Golden Age of Non-Idiomatic Improvisation
at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. This interest has led David Keffer to write a "novel of non-idiomatic improvisation" published through the Poison Pie Publishing House. The novel is titled "A Sutra of Reverse Possession: a novel of non-idiomatic improvisation". Folks who appreciate the philosophy underlying non-idiomatic improvisation may find this novel rewarding. A flyer describing the novel is available here. An excerpt from the novel can be read at amazon.com. In the U.S. the book can be purchased in either paperback or ebook format from amazon.com. In other parts of the world, the book is also available through amazon's international partners, including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Japan. Mr. Hiromi Kudo, who has provided virtually all of the recent photographs in the "visuals section" of the Haino site, has written a nice review of the Poison Pie Publishing House on his (Japanese-language) blog. Reviews of the novel can be left at goodreads.com. For more information about the Poison Pie Publishing House, visit www.poisonpie.com/publishing. |
