Samurai Jazz Quintet (SJQ)





















Pico from takcom™ on Vimeo.



PV for “Pico”, which is included in second album named “Animacy”,  have been released.
It was created by Takafumi Tsuchiya (a visual artist).
Each object in the video  was connected to each sound. The complex nexus of the sounds in music, was visualized by his awesome imagination.



SJQ is a band composed of Yuta Uozumi (piano/computer), Tadashi Yonago, (trombone/computer), Isao Nakagaito(guitar), Shuhei Otani(bass), Wataru Asada(Drums). and gismo: an artificial life program created by Yuta Uozumi.


SJQ’s approach is a chain reaction of human and virtual interactions, one by one evolving without recorded loops.


In the course of a performance, SJQ utilizes realtime modulation, computer manipulation as well as traditional Jazz instruments such as piano, trombone, guitar, bass, and drums.
