Japanese Free Jazz has a history that goes back to the '60s, and Otomo Yoshihide's latest project brings together some of the best Free Jazz players in Japan with noise musicians Sachiko M and the legendary Akita Masami of Merzbow. Beautiful arrangements, exciting solos and a kickass rhythm section make Flutter one of Otomo’s most powerful and unusual musical statements. Features three bizarre covers of tunes by Eric Dolphy and Gerry Mulligan and four dynamic originals. Sine waves, drones, jazz and noise from one of Japan's most ubiquitous experimental musicians.
Produced for John Zorn's label, which is appropriate, as the Japanese noise artist Otomo Yoshahide is frequently cited as the Tokyo avant-garde equivalent to New York's hyperactive composer. While generally miles apart in style, the New Jazz Quintet swings relatively close to the orbit of the '90s avant-garde work of John Zorn, who came full circle to an almost traditional jazz form. Here Yoshihide and a cast of Tokyo players approach the jazz standards of Eric Dolphy, and while the music is deceptively light for a bandleader rumored to have literally damaged architecture and eardrums in his solo noise performances, the composer occasionally sneaks a stab of piercing noise into the slick, postmodern jazz production. Certainly a curious project, but not nearly as interesting or compelling as Otomo Yoshahide's solo work or compositions with the group Ground Zero, in which Tokyo's finest shape music in an entirely unique and futuristic manner. On this album, the furturistic take on Eric Dolphy and Gerry Mulligan's jazz standards is appropriated respectfully and with a sly wit.

Improvisational guitarist, turntablist and composer Otomo Yoshihide was born August 1, 1959 in Yokohama, Japan; the son of an engineer, as a child he built his own radio and electronic oscillator, and as a teen began creating sound collages by means of open-reel tape recorders. During high school, Yoshihide performed in a local rock band before moving on to free jazz, influenced primarily by saxophonist Kaoru Abe and guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi; while a university student, he also became fascinated with ethnic music, and in 1981 traveled to Hainan, China to research the area's musical culture. Upon returning to Tokyo, Yoshihide began regularly performing free improvisation sets at the local Goodman club, although he maintained a relatively low profile until 1987, when he appeared in a duo with saxophonist Junji Hirose in addition to concurrent stints in the bands No Problem and ORT. In 1990, Yoshihide joined bassist Kato Hideki's group Player Piano and also formed his own noise rock group, Ground Zero. From 1992 to 1994, he also led the Double Unit Orchestra. Other Yoshihide-helmed groups of the period included Mosquito Paper and Sampling Virus Project; following the 1998 dissolution of Ground Zero, his work moved increasingly towards minimalism in projects including I.S.O. and Filament.
