Tetsuya Nakamura

Composer / Guitarist

I was born Tokyo in 1979, and has been playing the guitar since the age of fifteen.

After, participate in the many experimental bands (Hardcore/Punk,Noise,Grind Core,Industrial,Post Punk,Acid House,Alternative Rock,Dub/reggae,etc...) as a guitarist & composer.

I started producing electronic music in beginning of 2001 by using the Roland XP-50 and sampler of Akai.
The genres of my music varied from Techno, Minimal Dub, Abstract Hiphop, Ambient to Modern Noise Music as represented by Merzbow and others, and produced many different kinds of music.

Many of the songs released by Arc of Doves up to 2014 were either reconstructed from material produced around this time or inspired by the demo songs of the time.
The artist's name is also derived from the name of a song on the album "Plateaux of Mirror : Ambient 2" by Brian Eno / Harold Budd, which I was listening to a lot at the time.
