Kazuyuki K. Null

K.K. Null is perhaps best known as the leader of the Japanese experimental metal band Zeni Geva. He is, however, an accomplished and prolific solo artists as well. Where Zeni Geva traded in the sonic possibilities of pure rock weight, Null's solo material tends toward more ambient but still explosive sounds--metallic scrapes, harsh electronics, relentless guitar squalls, and the like. That said, he is capable of subtle, more meditative moments as well. An accomplished and respected figure, Null has collaborated with the likes of John Zorn, Daniel Meche, Keiji Haino, and Jim O'Rourke over the course of his decades-plus career.
