ma: ama

MA comes from the Tokyo rap and hip-hop scene, and throughout the years his style has evolved into more noisy and experimental beat-making. On Ama, he blends ritualistic ancient Japanese lyrics and vocal methods, on music that he creates using his voice and/or field recordings. The result is alienating, weird, and haunting but at the same time fascinating and futuristic. MA's "Beehayden" is being remixed by Sugai Ken, another outstanding artist and performer from Japan. MA made his first short live performance at Dommune Tokyo in May 2019, revealing his craft and performative side.
