Tatsuya Nakatani (percussion) is originally from Osaka, Japan. In 2006
he performed in 80 cities in 7 countries and collaborated with 163
artists worldwide. In the past 10 years he has released nearly 50
recordings on CD.

He has created his own instrumentation, effectively inventing many
instruments and extended techniques. He utilizes drumset, bowed gongs,
cymbals, singing bowls, metal objects, bells, and various sticks and
bows to create an intense, organic music that defies category or
genre. His music is based in improvised/ experimental music, jazz,
free jazz, rock, and noise, yet retains the sense of space and beauty
found in traditional Japanese folk music.

In addition to live solo and ensemble performances he works as a sound
designer for film and television. He also teaches Masterclasses and
Workshops at the University level. He also heads H&H Production, an
independent record label and recording studio based in Easton,
Pennsylvania. He was selected as a performing artist for the
Pennsylvania Performing Artist on Tour (PennPat) roster as well as a
Bronx Arts Council Individual Artist grant.
