Onchi (音痴) is a Japanese word comprised of the characters for ’sound’ and ’stupid’.

Like its nearest English equivalent ‘tone deaf’, it usually indicates a person who either can’t sing or keep time, or else fails to appreciate music that the rest of society deems worthy of appreciation.

Here at Japan Onchi, we would like to humbly appropriate this term to describe the music we like: music that is often far from perceived notions of quality or cool.

Onchi is our umbrella and the creatures we usher under it during a critical monsoon are the fantastically shaped ones belonging to the underground, the avant-garde, the far side, the left of centre and whatever else people who think differently want to name as their field.

January 17 was the birthday of art, as declared by Fluxus' Robert Filliou. DUPOBS celebrated by participating in CITR Radio's 24 Hours of Radio Art. The result is atmospheric and chaotic, occassionally reminiscent of Violent Onsen Geisha, Plunderphonics, or weirder moments of Skinny Puppy. Video and the podcast can now be accessed through www.dupobs.ca. Enjoy, and please share widely.
