“自然农法”之声,是由日本传奇鼓手丰住芳三郎(Sabu Toyozumi)与多种乐器演奏家夏秋文彦(Fumihiko Natsuaki)组成的乐队。夏秋平时使用“自然农法”(不使用任何化学用品的种植方法)来种植蔬菜、稻米,乐队因而得名。

夏秋文彦(Hico)

Hico是一位精通多种乐器的演奏家,包括口风琴、口簧琴、泛音长笛、打击乐和其他民族乐器。
Hico创造了一种独特的口风琴演奏风格。结合“循环呼吸”*的技巧用双手演奏,他能够创造出大胆且具律动感的个人声音,这些技巧使他理所当然地卓然不群。
1997年,他发行了独奏专辑《GADO-GADO》。
2008年,他与钢琴家USUTOKINE到欧洲巡演(捷克和比利时)。
2011年,他在欧洲举办了第一次个人巡演,赢得了一群来自欧洲的拥护者。
几年前,Hico从东京搬到了长野县。目前,他正过着耕种的生活,并同时是一位音乐家。

* 循环呼吸:一种用于吹奏乐器的技法。向吹奏乐器的吹口中送气,为了气流不间断,并且不因呼吸打断一组音符的连贯性,乐手通过鼻子呼吸。

周游列国的历练加上与国内保持密切联系令丰住芳三郎与许多杰出音乐家或艺术家都有过合作,其中包括吉沢元治(Motoharu Yoshizawa)、高柳昌行(Masayuki “Jojo” Takayanagi)、高木元辉(Mototeru Takagi)、 Chales Mingus、Anthony Braxton、Alan Shorter、Rafael Garrett、诗人白石嘉寿子(Kazuko Shiraishi)、舞踏大师大野一雄(Kazuo Ohno)、Johannes Bauer、Peter Brötzmann、Hans Reichel、Fred van Hove、Misha Mengelberg、Derek Bailey、Wadada Leo Smith、Paul Rutherford、John Russell、Sunny Murray等。

2012年,年近70岁的丰住芳三郎,还出人意料却又并不令人意外地与老牌日噪团体“非常阶段(Hijokaidan)”进行了爵士与噪音的“mix”。
