Biography
MAKYO formed in 1993 with the desire to incorporate Eastern philosophies of sound and spirituality into the whole spectrum of 90s electronica. The result: zen dub, an organic electro-acoustic sound of tablas, ethereal Indian/Arab vocals, and bass. The band’s brief is to ignore the barriers that exist between “live” and “electronic”, “experimental” and “pop”, “east” and “west”, “traditional” and “modern”.
GIO who writes all the music, and plays most of it— went through a long musical evolution before arriving in Makyo. The early 80s were spent in Kyoto, studying zen by day and playing in hardcore punk bands by night. The late 80s were spent in Taipei and Boston, playing in psychedelic Branca-influenced guitar ensembles, releasing through the mail-art/cassette underground, and dj-ing a free-style radio show on WZBC.
Since 1993, Gio has been a regular dj on Tokyo’s club scene, appearing mostly in chill-out rooms, and appearing with the likes of Mixmaster Morris, The Orb’s Alex Patterson, Ken Ishii, Haruomi Hosono, Tsuyoshi, Underworld, Solar Quest, and more.

You can find the music easily at the Dakini Records website, at Discogs, and on just about every download store I can think of. Working on Bandcamp.

Yeah the music can be pretty hard to get even online for physical copies. I'm lucky to actually have Swara Mandala and Yakshini. I kinda want Shringara and can get that one easily but it's not one of my favorites.

Makyo is AMAZING!!!

I love this artist so much. My favorite track is Soar Angelic along with pretty much everything else by this artist. There is just something about this artist that just keeps me coming back for more all the time even though I listened to the same tracks like a million times each.
