Yamantaka ∈Y∋ is a visionary of radical sound and image, best known as the founder of the legendary avant-noise group Boredoms. Since the 1980s, his kaleidoscopic output-spanning noise, psychedelia, performance art, and visual collage-has shaped Japan’s experimental scene and reverberated globally. From performing with Sonic Youth and Nam June Paik to launching a chaotic radio residency on NTS, ∈Y∋ is an architect of organized disorder. His infamous performances, including driving a bulldozer into a Tokyo venue, are part of underground lore. Still shapeshifting, he continues to push limits of sonic assault and ecstatic form across media and continents.
