ASTRO is a Japanese noise duo created by the performer Hiroshi Hasegawa and his partner Rohco. In 1989, Hiroshi Hasegawa was the founding member of C.C.C.C. formation, which was formed by Maiuko Hino, Ryuchii Nagakubo, Fumiyo Kosakaj and Hiroshii Hasegawa and has become a legend of the Japanese noise scene. For the entire period of their existence, C.C.C.C. represented, together with Incapacitants, Merzbow, Hiyokaidan a Masonna, the most radical branch of noise music (the so-called japanoise). Since 1993, Hasegawa continued in a solo production, which represents a mixture of styles, ranging from experimental electronic music to psychedelically coloured noise music. During the last three years, Hiroshi Hasegawa has been performing solo under his own name, while the name ASTRO relates to the aforementioned duo of Hiroshi Hasegawa and Rohco. The works of Hiroshi Hasegawa are often created in cooperation with other performers, such as Bad Sector, Cornucopia, Suzuki Junzo, Richard Ramirez, Family Battle Snake, Jazkamer, Hair Stylistics, Torturing Nurse, Masonna and, during the past four years, the Czech ensemble Opening Performance Orchestra. Live performances are approached by Hiroshi Hasegawa – either alone or with his partner – as an initiation ritual, during which the audience can witness a fascinating electronic burst of a perfectly clear as well as a beyond recognition modulated mass of sounds.
