Takeshi Ohmura

Takeshi Ohmura is a Japanese drummer and multi-instrumentalist, one of the earliest members of the controversial noise/experimental band The Gerogerigegege. Current whereabouts unknown. He played drums on several early releases by the ensemble, including the 1985 'First Recording,' which appeared on a 1993 696283 7", as well as later on '98 517721. Ohmura also played with Juntaro Yamanouchi, the Gerogerigegege's founder, on a self-titled 1188525 C-30 cassette released in 1985 by Masami Akita's mailorder ZSF Produkt. Takeshi continued occasionally playing and recording with the Gerogerigegege up till the mid-nineties. He switched to guitar and bass on 1987–88 session (with Lip (2) on drums) that was published on '92 7", and returned to the drum-kit in Dec '91, for a session with Akira Shibazaki (bass/guitar) which ended up on 1996 5411990 7" split with Bastard Noise. Ohmura again joined Juntaro in Oct-Nov '93 to record 410148 CD, one of the first 'serious' albums released under Gerogerigegege's name. This time, he jammed on the saxophone, while Yamanouchi was handling electronics and edited random easy-listening records and found sounds in the abstract, experimental collage.
