With his activity in the new music, improvisation and experimental music scenes, Nakatani has a long history of collaboration. He teaches master classes and lectures at universities and music conservatories around the world. Originally from Japan, he makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

In consort with his hand carved Kobo Bows, it is an instrument he has spent decades developing. TorSalomon is the recent free improvising duo of Jason Tors and Ben Salomon. This local duo has performed at the Abbie Greenleaf Library in Franconia twice this spring, focusing on introducing kids (of all ages) to the therapeutic nature of listening to and participating in free improvised music. Salomon and Tors are mainly percussionists and incorporate elements of guitar, bass and electronics depending on how they are feeling.
