BIO

Toshi Makihara pursues non-idiomatic free improvised music using percussion and found objects / sound sites. Makihara studied drums and improvisation with Sabu Toyozumi and Butoh with the master Kazuo Ohno in Tokyo. His approach to free improvisation is founded on the process of “Becoming the Sound” without seeking any particular accomplishment.

David Forlano is a multi-disciplinary performance, sound and visual artist. His commissioned sound design supported dance a theater throughout the 90’s in Philadelphia. He was often found teaming with percussionist Toshi Makihara on many performances as well as their own collaborations in free improvisation. After relocating to Santa Fe in 2005 he took a 10 year break from all performance and sound work.

David has performed with Trey Gunn, Chris Jonas, Jack Wright, Fred Frith, and many others. He currently holds regular sessions in his studio with a variety of musicians and ensembles and often performs with these groups. David is one of the cofounders of sandboxmusic.org , a monthly series presenting new creative music to the Santa Fe area. The series is dedicated to providing a forum for music that utilizes creative new techniques, ranging from electronic, experimental acoustic, new jazz, modern classical, and more. The series features local musicians as well as touring artists.
