Joyful Sonic Wash is the project of Junichi Matsuzaki and Megumi Matsuzaki. Junichi performs on a table-top guitar using “junk” preparations: tubes, mouthpiece, bells, a thumb piano and various other toys. Megumi plays sitar with pedal effects, making phrase loops, mixing up melody and noise and oscillating between acoustic and electric sounds. They are joined here by percussionist Don Amit Ram Claudius. Natives of Hiroshima, the Matsuzaki duo were active in artist collectives there and in Kobe and Osaka before moving to New York City in 2002. This performance excerpt was recorded at Roulette in 2006.

"Tracking The Odds: The Roulette Concert Archive" is a monthly hour-long radio special produced by Roulette Intermedium (roulette.org) and broadcast in partnership with Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM and Standing Wave Radio. The broadcasts feature selected highlights from Roulette’s New York experimental music space dating from the early 1980s to the present. Thousands of rare, formative, and often unheard recordings by innovators and adventurous musicians populate the archive. Tracking The Odds airs the fourth Monday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and is archived at wavefarm.org.

Founded in 1978, Roulette operates a 400-seat concert hall on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn with a focus on experimental and unorthodox music and performance across all genres and media. It's archive of thousands of audio and video recordings is currently being restored.
