Taku Sugimoto

Taku Sugimoto (JP) started playing guitar when he was a high school student. He has been member of the bands Piero Manzoni, Ghost, Hikyo String Quintet and (switching to cello) Henkyo Gakudan. After returning to the guitar he changed his style from a loud to an extremely quiet sound, which leaves room for silence. Currently, Sugimoto is focusing on composition and its performance, rather than improvisation.
