about
是巨人 (Korekyojin; Korekyojinn) is a japanese progressive Rock trio led by drummer 吉田達也 (Yoshida Tatsuya), of the former Band Ruins and his current Band 高円寺百景 (Koenji Hyakkei). They released two recordings, Korekyojinn and Isotope, under John Zorns label Tzadik, another, Arabesque, with Sonore and have a new release called Jackson, being signed with Magaibutsu Limited. Their music, being fairly complex, while still proving beautiful melody, is purely instrumental. Every instrument is treated equally and no one really takes over the role as a frontman. They would usually take a theme, sometimes harmonic, most of the time chromatic though, and evolve around it, jaming at "the wild edge of improvisation" [see tzadik.com]. There are many kontrasts noticable throughout all their work: almost every song has its weird, crazy and disharmonic parts, as well as its relaxing, nice melodies. Their creativity for the themes makes each piece of work unique though. Some few songs do not fit into their style at all, and contribute to their expermiental side (tax your patience), like their song 'Hash' of their Isotope album. All in all, Korekyojinn prove high musicianship, being able to bring dynamics and creative art into rock music. They dont seem to want to show off, but rather simply have fun with their fast and odd beats. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
