Ruins (With John Zorn) – Ruins – Cassette
Shimmy Disc Records 37
Ruins is a collaborative album by the Japanese avant-garde music duo Ruins and American musician and composer John Zorn. The album was released in 1995 and is a notable example of experimental and genre-blurring music.
Ruins, consisting of Tatsuya Yoshida (drums and vocals) and Ryuichi Masuda (bass guitar), are known for their intricate and complex style, often described as a fusion of progressive rock, punk, and avant-garde elements. John Zorn is a prolific composer and saxophonist known for his work in avant-garde and experimental music.
The album Ruins features a fusion of Ruins’ high-energy and technically demanding style with John Zorn’s improvisational and genre-defying approach to music. The result is a unique and challenging listening experience that blurs the boundaries between rock, jazz, and experimental music.
While this collaboration may not be as well-known as some of John Zorn’s other projects or Ruins’ solo work, it’s appreciated by fans of avant-garde and experimental music for its innovation and complexity. Ruins reflects the spirit of musical exploration and boundary-pushing that is characteristic of both artists’ careers.
