and all their collaborators/side projects (four gentlemen of guitar being the best and also has fennesz!).
All that super minimal, usually guitar-based (except in Nakamura's case where he's using a no-input mixing board), improvised, usually featuring high pitched ringing stuff, mostly released through Erstwhile Records it seems like. If you're familiar with the above artists you'll know what I'm talking about. And don't reccomend Derek Bailey, he rules but he doesn't sound like what I'm looking for.
Apparently, the term applied to many of these artists is "Onkyokei"...
