"There's a very particular aura about this music - it's holy metallic noise" Dusted Machinery | Cavern with Nightlife In 2002 Hisashi Terauchi invited John Butcher for his first visit to Japan. The tour was partly solo and partly with Japanese musicians suggested by Hisashi. A duo concert with Nakamura was their first encouter and makes up half of the CD Cavern with Nightlife. A second chance to play together again occured in 2004, at Plan B in Tokyo. Since then they've maintained sporadic meetings, such as at the First Last LMC Festival and Cafe Oto in London, and Instant Chavires in Paris. When the two musicians were invited to record in London for David Sylvian's "When we return you won't recogise us" project they set the next afternoon aside to visit Dave Hunt's Shepherd's Bush studio and made the recording that is now "Dusted Machinery". In 2013 Improvised Music from Japan will release a collection from the Ftarri/Doubtmusic Festival 2010 including Butcher and Nakamuras' trio set with Tetuzi Akiyama.
