Softcover book with bonus CD, 140 pages, edition of 500 (mostly full page b&w photography; text is in Japanese only). "For the past ten years, Tokyo-based photographer Yuji Itsumi has taken a series of remarkably evocative B&W photos of many underground musicians for the PSF magazine G-Modern. Itsumi's intensely intimate photos capture the musicians off-stage in their everyday lives, but still manage to capture a sure sense of their music. This book compiles Itsumi's work for G-Modern, along with short interviews (in Japanese only) with each of the twenty-nine musicians featured. Those pictured include giants of the Japanese underground like Keiji Haino, Yoshihide Otomo, Motoharu Yoshizawa, Chie Mukai, Kan Mikami, and Masayoshi Urabe, alongside international doyens of free-playing such as Derek Bailey, Arthur Doyle, Charles Gayle, Han Bennink, and Peter Brotzmann. The book comes with a nine-track, hour long CD containing previously unreleased tracks by Derek Bailey, Keiji Haino, Yoshihide Otomo, Kazuo Imai, Motoharu Yoshizawa, Toshiaki Ishizuka, Hiroshi Kawani, Chie Mukai, and Kan Mikami with Masayoshi Urabe." -- Alan Cummings
