About Makunouchi Bento

The Makunouchi Bento, or traditional japanese lunchbox, is a highly lacquered wooden box divided into quadrants, each of which contains different delicacies. It is also one of the most familiar images of Japan’s domestic environment. Reading the box as both an object and a metaphor, Felix Petrescu (Waka X) and Valentin Toma (Qewza) founded this experimental / electronica project back in 2001.

At the time, Felix was a member of Urban Experience - one of the pioneers of the underground electronica scene in Timisoara (Romania) focused mainly on dance music, and Valentin had his solo project. The first Makunouchi Bento album, Himette, was finished in no time, being a collection of new tracks, but also old unreleased works of Urban Experience and Qewza.

With their album available for free download, further singles and EPs released on well-known netlabels like Eerik Inpuj Sound, Miasmah, Metempsychosis, Ogredung, and also a live act and a DJ set at two important musical events in Timisoara (TM01Base Festival and TMBase Fused Series), they started to get their music heard both in Romania and abroad.

By 2004, their discography included many compilations (both commercial and free) like the TMBase Festival Compilations, Collection 2: Moving (Databloem), Apegenine Volume 1 (Apegenine), VGM Mixtape 8 (No Sides Records), Fishing for Complements (Retinascan), Snowsky & No Ink and Cucina Vagabonda (Ogredung), Retork (Enough Records), 101 (One) and many othes. Also, they had two split EPs with Kaneel, called Miopedi (Kikapu) and Miopedi: Errata (One), plus various singles released on Ogredung and Camomille. On top of that, the track Rokurokubi (Part 2) has won the first battle of netlabels hosted by Numia, and thus it was printed on a limited edition vinyl (Makunouchi Bento’s first 12") along with the three other songs and a "hidden" Makunouchi bonus track.

Finally, it was time for Romania to develop an interest in experimental music, and Makunouchi Bento have found themselves invited to all the important events across the country. Latest releases include Balada unui creier mic EP released on the first romanian netlabel: Arhiva7, Lament of the fishing robot EP (Camomille), Flika EP (TMBase) and Trcutu LP (One) - a special project made for AVMotional 2 Festival, consisting of electronic interpretations of various classical compositions (Satie, Ravel, Arensky, etc).

East West Fest Romania	Jul 25 2008 1:53 AM VIDEOCLIP EAST WEST FEST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2EBj2h9oFo ANUNT IMPORTANT !!! Cei care doresc sa urmareasca festivalul East West Fest (Seini, MM, 8-10 august) sunt anuntati ca numarul de bilete disponibile este limitat, iar numarul rezervarilor creste foarte repede…Astfel, pentru a fi siguri ca veti putea intra la festival, e necesara o rezervare, ce se “confirma” in prima seara a festivalului (atunci facandu-se si plata biletului). Persoanele fara rezervare risca pur si simplu sa ramana “pe din-afara” J. Rezervarile se fac pe siteul festivalului www.eastwestfest.com, pagina Info sau direct la adresa urmatoare : http://www.eastwestfest.com/romana/rezervari.html

otakumag.com	Jun 3 2008 12:23 PM KAIDAN is the term used for the Japanese ghost stories, and, extensively, for the J-Horror culture. The Buddhist moralizing stories were rapidly transformed into international shockers; people wanted more frightening monstrosities and oddness, with no direct connection with the Western horror. Manga, anime, movies and the subcultures developed around them competed in shicks and panic. If you really want to know why on the Japanese horror movies is written 18+, take a look at the next issue of Otaku Magazine. Nevertheless, is our duty to warn you that all who looked inside certain pages of this issue have disappeared shortly after. Still, it might be just a story to send the children to sleep for good.
