HIROSHI HASEGAWA;


Born in 1963, Hasegawa has begun his improvisation with his voice and percussion in early 80's. And in 1989, he formed the group C.C.C.C. which's concept was improvisational mass-noise with very loud sound. Also he has begun his solo unit ASTRO with analog synthesizers in 1993 as well as playing in C.C.C.C. and then he formed "Cosmic Coincidence" in 2010 with the members Manuel Knapp and Rohco, and ASTRO consists of Hasegawa and Rohco as a duo project since 2013.
Now he is actively playing and issuing and doing many collaboration with other artists. His playing style is like drifting between the meditation and awakening state with electronics and still he is pursuing it.

T. MIKAWA;
An office worker, but also has been doing noise improvisation as a member of Hijokaidan, Incapacitants, mn, GOMIKAWA, MikaTen and so on for more than 35 years. Recently he’s interested in solo noise performance.

HARSH NOISE MOVEMENT;
had been producing numerous bad quality cassettes featuring experimental loops and noises as early as 1984 for his own personal enjoyment. As the years passed by, and with the creation of the internet and sites such as YouTube, Harsh Noise Movement started to upload videos of his experimental sounds and realised that no one really cared about them. Then one day, he decided to stop being lazy and created a Bandcamp account. He couldn't think of a name for a label to put his sounds on, so he took the easy way out and used the initials of his noise project, hence HNM Records. He then made a few online accounts on social media sites and started communicating and working with lots of like minded noise artists. The name Harsh Noise Movement came as a sarcastic joke from 2011.

ROHCO;
Originally hailing from Chiba, Japan, Rohco is a sound-weaver based in Tokyo. Together with a noise artist Hiroshi Hasegawa, she starts a noise duo in 2009. In the following year, Manuel Knapp joins the two and forms a trio, Cosmic Coincidence.
