Taiko, Trap Set and Turntables Mix May 22, 2008

With over 50 years of combined taiko experience, the Los-Angeles based On Ensemble (pronounced "ohn") features four musicians who have studied and performed with renowned masters of traditional and contemporary music in the United States and Japan. Their sound ranges from centuries-old Kabuki music to contemporary indie rock and from free jazz to hip-hop electronica.

On Ensemble instruments include hand-made drums by Miyamoto Unosuke Shouten - instrument maker to the Emperor of Japan. Their set features these drums with turntable, trap set, bamboo flute, koto (Japanese zither), and Tuvan overtone singing.
