Tolbooth Auditorium, 8.30pma A new, exciting duo, although each artist will also performa short solo set of their very distinct take on guitar musicat this, their fi rst visit to Le Weekend and their only visit together to Scotland.Tetuzi Akiyama specialises in creating music with elements of both naÔve primitivism and the harsh realism of guitarnoise. His sound owes as much to the country blues guitarists, Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip Jamesetc from the 30s as it does from his well-documented involvement in Tokyoís improvising community.Chris Forsyth ís dizzily hypnotic compositions for 6- and12-string guitars thresh together elements of the whole gamut of modern music making, minimalism, psychedelia,art rock, folk and blues so he should be at home at Le Weekend. He is a founding member of gothic junk folk expressionists Peeesseye. Tetuzi Akiyama - guitarChris Forsyth - guitar |
