Guernica - Kaizo eno Yakudou

An active participant in the new-wave punk scene, Ueno began his career with his first group called "eight and a half" in 1978. After its demise he joined the group “Halmens” with whom he worked from 1979 - 1981. In 1980, he also formed the group "Guernica", which attempted a synthesis of pre World War II avant-garde themes with popular Japanese culture. Guernica issued their first LP entitled ‘kaizo eno yakudou’ (throbbing to the alteration) in 1982 for Haroumi Hosono’s Yen label. It remains today one of the most compelling articles to emerge from that influential “technopop” label. In 1983 Ueno’s first solo works also began to appear on Yen and he collaborated with the graphic artist Keiichi Ota on an LP composition of Ota’s lyrical works entitled (Jingaidaimakyo). In 1984 Ueno began giving live performances of new works specially composed for Dadaist and Surrealist silent movies and the following year released an album titled "Music for Silent Movies".
