Go Kurosawa

Go Kurosawa is multi-instrumentalist, producer, and co-founder of the independent label Guruguru Brain. Best known as drummer of Kikagaku Moyo, Go has spent the past decade building bridges connecting east and west, sound and silence, rock and ritual.

soft shakes is something different: his first solo album, made entirely by himself, and made mostly for fun.

Go has a rare kind of musical instinct: he can play anything, listen to everything, while not taking himself too seriously. For a long time, solo music wasn’t part of the plan: after years in a band, playing alone felt strange. Music, to him, was something to do together. Over time, while traveling, collecting instruments, and eventually setting up Guruguru Brain studio in Rotterdam: Go started jamming by himself. What comes is playful, layered, rhythmic, and surprising. Just like Go.
