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.
While playing in a band, I became interested in drum programming on a Roland rhythm machine I borrowed from a friend, and around 2001 I began creating music that would become the prototype for Arc of Doves.
The genres of music varied from Techno, Minimal Dub, Abstract Hiphop, Ambient to Noise Music, and produced many different kinds of music.
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.
