Hideki Nakanishi – Japan

Hideki uses most of him time in his Sol Anemo workshop  building special order handcrafted stringed instruments for superior musicians with a fine touch. And when that touch comes to music, he creates compositions using multiple looping pedals and one electric instrument – mandolin or guitar. Listening to his music, you will hear the sounds of nature,  and life in the mountains of Nara, Japan where he grew up.

 

You can listen to one of his improvised performances called “Diary in the sound image“

 

Hideki Nakanishi – aka mandoman – played as a headliner at Y2K International Live Looping Festival in Santa Cruz,CA in 2005 and have been going back to play at that festival every year ever since.|
