The Music Issue Potfolio (Vol.5)

On the cover of this week's CP Music Issue is a piece by Shaun Brady on Toshi Makihara, an experimental drummer. As advertising revenue shrinks, so does the book. There's less than usual in this music issue, but an interesting section remains:

"Each night, at just about 8 p.m., Toshi Makihara descends into the basement of his Wyndmoor home. He sets his Panasonic digital video camera on a small tripod on a table next to an old IBM computer, hits "record" and steps into frame. Over his left shoulder is a set of shelves holding a variety of drums. Over his right shoulder can be glimpsed a water heater, washer and dryer. In front of him is a single green drum." MORE
