Astro

ASTRO is Hiroshi Hasegawa's solo project.

Hiroshi Hasegawa is best known as a founding member of Japanese noise legends C.C.C.C., though his solo guise as Astro focuses on music that stems from a similarly analogue mindset, conjuring feverish dreamscapes from primitive oscillators, ring modulators and field recordings. In this instance, Hasegawa's endeavours seem to marry Japanese harsh noise convention with more psychedelically charged sounds, throwing together a blistering arsenal of noise signals with Acid Mothers Temple-style far-out-ness.
