He has all the childlike wonder only a master could have. Love Haino.

[@Sallet]

It's a bit surprising to see Red Bull hosting this. But thank you so much for all you guys are doing. Haino-san's view on music, life and world are inspiring. I've been loving his music since I was 15, and he changed the way I look and listen to things. As he said, live positively!

[@LfunkeyA]

don't know, the redbull academy often hosts pretty underground stuff

[@naff8713]

The genius himself. Great.

[@131]

i really didn't expect this interview to exist.

[@noense]

That polish singer-songwriter is Jacek Kaczmarski, if anyone's interested.

Jacek Kaczmarski - Armor You have given me, O Lord, armor; Ancient armorer forged it. In many battles bent, In Many baptized with blood. Forged for a giant I stumble at each step, Because as blackmail of conscience It oppresses the left side. But even thou helmet and sword are lost, For the body there is no refuge in it, And in the end, it's an important thing - Armor!... Magic runes on it, Today, one can not read, But carved with myths And eternal is like a myth! It clung to my body, Disturbs my life and sleep, But the crowd is happy with the dwarf, Who wants to play the giant! But even thou helmet and sword are lost, For the body there is no refuge in it, And in the end, it's an important thing - Armor!... And such seriousness in it Of blood dried long ago, That I feel its demand It orders me to grow. Perhaps in vain But I will stand in it for a hundred! Take it off, O Lord, from me, If I die in my sleep! But even thou helmet and sword are lost, For the body there is no refuge in it, And in the end, it's an important thing - Armor! They yelled the password - War! They woke hordes of troops, Raped the calm night Witnesses first murder. Burning fresh wounds, Shamed face aflamed - But to us, to defend ourselves, given Our armour of memory! So while the rains blow blow And the enemy sends reinforcement in convoys, It protects us from falling still - Armor! They dragged out boxes of sheet metal, Inserted bullets into barrels And haunt - themselves in fear Shoot at bodies and words. Forbid fire to live! Let the rape triumph! Above each body let there rise shape of a living memory! Although the sun hid in combat gas And soldier wallows in his crimes, Still from the fall protects us - Armor! They trained the pigs, They bought themselves dogs And in empty words temple They set the bloody altar; Laments before an idol Half-blind liar priest And with each new sentence Hardens our breastplate. Although our time choked with blood, Though thoughts are drowning in paranoias, As always, will protect us - Armor!

Damn, I was hoping that he would talk about how often he goes to the hairdresser.

[@syachipeanut]

Always interesting to understand and see the thought process of artists like keiji haino

[@sarahsavelli4988]

keiji haino is a sound magician

[@borbetomagus]

+sarah etc If you're not familiar with Bernard Parmegiani give his album "De Natura Sonorum" (1975) a try.

this likely would have been a much better interview if the interviewer spoke japanese

[@jacquesaubin4454]

Keiji Haino is a Master Musician

nobody move! you're affecting the performance

YOU SERIOUSLY GOT KEIJI FRICKIN' HAINO? Thought the world was ignorant of his existance, holy shit.

[@Admiralex91]

? He plays concerts worldwide. Hes not that underground. There are many local bands i bet that nobody knows.

[@shusei1000]

I think they translated "Nazoranai" to "not to repeate" is not good word choice. It could be translated "not to trace" in more abstruct mean. What "not to be traced" here are many things, manners, concept, values etc..

[@christopherperezkuwahara1891]

That's what I wanted to say

[@CircunferenciaPunga]

thanks for this!!!

Nothing wrong with electronic computer music. Some of the best songs ive ever heard were made on a computer. Its beautiful technology. Just saying. This guy makes great points tho

[@furupoweru1899]

if somebody's eager to watch some more footage of Keiji Haino speaking, then you should watch short documentary about him in Moscow by Alexandra Karelina. pretty sweet

[@kotanecrosis96]

What is Haino playing?

[@Huegelmann]

I think those metal plates are called 'Crotales'.

[@kotanecrosis96]

@@Huegelmann it only took six years to finally get an answer. Thank you, sir.

[@Huegelmann]

@@kotanecrosis96 Hey sorry, i did a bit of research and i have to correct myself. This instrument is actually called "Polygonola", which is a very rare and might only be build at request in Japan. It was created by Naoki Sakurai. Here's a link to a polygonola website: www.oto-circle.jp/english

[@shamorsays]

@@kotanecrosis96 It's called Polygonola -- I can help you learn more about them. I am the first person in the USA with a set of polygonola plates

[@OIOI-zl4lw]

What instrument did he play at the beginning? It looks like glass

[@shamorsays]

[@shu2985]

so much of tension in the air

[@HerrBaton]

It's so strange that Haino-san found out Kaczmarski intresting, since his style is, I'd say, the complete opposite of what Haino-san is doing. Kaczmarski is a typical "revolutionary" singer, writing his own poetic lyrics with deep historical and existential meaning. In contrast to Kaczmarski, Haino-san turns out as almost narcissistic.

[@noense]

I think it's just because of musical and cultural background. I'm russian and grew up listening to bards (even if i wasn't interested in them) and I'm familiar with the style of perfomance from my childhood. There are several japanese folk musicians like Kan Mikami or Kazuki Tomokawa that perform their songs pretty harsh, yet they carry somewhat different energy. Look at this from a musical standpoint. Kaczmarski croons over fast monotone guitar strums with lots or close to none chord changes. It sounds like 'a typical rebel song' Keiji stated, but it is kind of hypnotic and feels like stream of consciousness of rebelious mind, in a way like hymn that massess chant on rallies. For me Haino's music is a huge struggle with expressing oneself in musical form, that's why he talks about 'music of the moment' and how he 'avoids to repeat things'. Maybe he hears this struggle in Kaczmarski's music as well. Maybe he just relates to this mood so much. Anyway, there's always will be Keiji Haino as a musician and Keiji Haino as a listener. I respect both.

in one statement "Keiji is crazy "

[@nyamnyam1416]

It's a bit of a shame how stuff seems to have kept being lost in the interpreting process,

[@syachipeanut]

I can kinda agree, luckily their conversation is nicely carried

[@movimentodoscacos]

interviewer is great but things are bound to get lost in translation. specially with someone like Haino. a shame but I’m happy we get to see this despite its problems

I don't think she is the right person to interview him.

[@vincentcsmith102]

I think she did a good job. He's a pretty tricky guy to interview. I don't know why she gets hate the whole time

[@jameelany1]

So what? He is boring. person. Music should be fun and enjoyment.

[@ghoul2164]

Fuck fun. Fuck false enjoyment. Look deeper into these "random" sounds and find true beauty. Cleanse your mind and it's the opposite of boring.

[@newskin9234]

[@Sportfuck]

@@newskin9234 :D he has some extremely awesome shit too though. In fact I'd say no one even had a slightest idea what post rock sound was when this guy got bored out of it. He is a fucking idiot, but he has his amazing moments. He is a degenerative musical prodigy.

he is one of the greatest musicians we have the honor of hearing
