Dekunobo are Japanese ‘cellist/guitarist Keisuke Matsui and UK double bassist Graham MacKeachan. “I often wonder who does what, because there is a beautiful unanimity to multiply and activate the sound resources, sometimes crossed by discreet drones or rumbles of indecisive murmurs. The apotheosis of cool noise, kept under control, of the full scratching of an astonishing sound diversity, playful in which it manages to get agitated at times, only to change the mood … and what a musical understanding between each of the protagonists!!” J-M van Schouwburg
