Psychedelic Baby Magazine publishes an extensive interview with Tamio Shiraishi, a key figure in Japan's underground music scene since the late 1970s. Born in 1949, Shiraishi was part of the original duo incarnation of Fushitsusha with Keiji Haino at the legendary Tokyo venue Minor in Kichijoji. He later took up the alto saxophone without formal training, developing a distinctive high-pitched improvisational voice. After moving to New York in 1990, he began performing in deserted subway stations, preferring the acoustics of empty platforms to conventional venues. The interview covers his early days at Minor organizing events like Joyo-Kachi-Bunkai-Kojo, his intense rehearsals with Haino described as "more of a duel than a duet", his unconventional acquisition of his first saxophone (as a pawn, not a gift), and his philosophy that "all music is noise". Shiraishi's journey from mathematics student to software engineer to subterranean saxophonist traces a unique path through Japanese and New York avant-garde scenes.
