Eye is a founder of the influential rock music band, Boredoms, whose first major label release came out in the early '90s.
Yamantaka Eye is also a member of the bands Hanatarash, UFO or Die, Puzzle Punks, and Destroy 2, though he is notorious for his vast, confusing discography, and countless guest appearances.
Eye and Zorn also recorded the album Zohar as the "Mystic Fugu Orchestra." This latter compilation, which both commemorates and satirizes Jewish culture, also draws strength from Eye's earlier influence from the Oomoto religion in Japan, a sect claiming to possess visions of an emerging world order.

Eye had been a member of the noise-rock band the Hanatarash, as had drummer Taketani; the rest of the original lineup featured guitarist Tabata Mara and bassist Hosoi.
Following Eye's work with John Zorn's avant-garde Naked City ensemble, the Boredoms' second album, Soul Discharge, was issued in the U.S. by Shimmy Disc in 1990; though some found them pointlessly abrasive, overall the record's crazed attack made them a hip name to drop in underground circles.
Eye's increasing interest in electronica was reflected on the band's next official full-length album, the trippy Vision Creation Newsun, released in the U.S. on Birdman in 2001.

Eye doubles the vocal midway through, and the joyous tune ends as it began, fading out with a wall of synth.

This album (on Eye’s Shock City imprint) is comprised of remixes of tunes from the band’s three previous albums, and one new tune, “Open Your Eyes You Can Fly” (which actually sticks out a little on this release, not featuring the electronic wizardry of the others).

Ganska nyligen släpptes dessutom del 0, där Boredoms ledare Yamatsuka Eye själv bygger om gruppens senaste EP, "Vision Creation Newsun", till en non-stop mix.
Faktiskt så lät han Eye göra omslagen till Malcolm Cattos singlar "Rock" och "Copter" som kom förra året, och på Lavelles japansläppta samlingsplatta "The Art of War" medverkade Eye med ett spår under namnet DJ EY3 bredvid mer traditionella Mo'wax-artister som Quannum och Nigo.
Eye har alltså visat intresse för dj-kulturen från sitt håll också.

It quickly disintegrated; first, Taketani was let go in favor of Yoshikawa Toyohito, then Hosoi was replaced by Hira (sometimes Hilah), and finally Mara -- who quit to join Zeni Geva -- was replaced by Yamamoto Seiichi (aka Yama-Motor).
These mostly percussive, acoustic tracks rely almost solely on the performers’ heads, hands, and mouths to generate a restless, clanging racket.
All over the record you’ll hear snatches of bodily functions, metal percussion, Eye screaming as if he’s being flogged, various band members beating the tar out of electric guitar and rock drums, mile-a-minute auctioneer vocalisms and barbaric percussive assaults, alien-nerd daisy chain chants, and the sound of getting electrically sick in the bathroom.

Led by the indefatigable Eye Yamatsuka (later Yamantaka Eye, or simply EYE), they smash every preconception of what rock music is supposed to be like into splinters, and then build a palace out of them.
Wow2 is Boredoms live in the studio and attempting to pass for a heavy rock band, which is sort of like Frankenstein's monster attempting to pass for a professional wrestler.
Eye's cover artwork for the Shock City Shockers compilation of Bore pals was subsequently appropriated as the back cover of Beck's Midnite Vultures.

Based in Yamatsuka, Japan, the Boredoms have borrowed liberally from the US hardcore punk tradition to forge their own climatic rock music.
The band was formed in the spring of 1986 by Yamatsuka Eye (vocals), Tabata Mara (guitar), Hosoi (bass) and Taketani (drums), although the rhythm section was rapidly changed to Yoshikawa Toyohito (drums) and Hira (bass).
Eye and Mara recorded the Boredoms' debut set, Anal By Anal, which introduced their frenetic musical style, a hardcore assault combined with the experimental distorted song structures of the Butthole Surfers.

Eye alone, holding lighted gizmos in his hands that triggered sounds as he made balletic motions: a bell-like tinkling with one, whooshes and crashes with the other.

 Hanatarash Information
Hanatarashi (ハナタラシ), meaning The Snot Nose(d) in Japanese, is a noise music band created by Boredoms frontman Yamatsuka Eye and featured Zeni Geva guitarist Mitsuru Tabata in 1984 after meeting as stage hands at an Einstürzende Neubauten show.
They are notorious for their dangerous live shows where gas drums are thrown at the audience, beer bottles are thrown around, and once an (already dead) cat was cut in half.
At one show, Yamatsuka Eye managed to cause around $60,000 worth of damage by driving a forklift through the venue's wall.

 Japan File: Yamamoto Seiichi
As a vehicle for the shamanic howls and otherworldly screeches of Yamatsuka (nee Yamantaka) Eye, the early Boredoms were a twisted marriage of the speed and energy of California hardcore bands like Black Flag, the cosmic and sartorial designs of Sun Ra's Arkestra and the silliness and ragged ethos of the Butthole Surfers.
She knew Eye, [Boredoms' bassist] Hilah and me. And she was the one who said, 'Let's start a band.' So you might say she was the founder of the Boredoms, but her musical tastes were very different from ours.
At the same time, Eye had already been doing Hanatarashi and had started to do rock jam sessions with a new group of people.

 MC Hellshit and DJ Carhouse: Live!! EP: Pitchfork Record Review
And I'm proud to report that the man behind it is none other than Eye Yamatsuka, frontman for legendary Japanese punk/psych lunatics the Boredoms.
Under the MC Hellshit moniker, Eye Yamatsuka has taken his no-rules approach even further, breaking away completely from anything that bears even the slightest resemblance to rock and roll.
While the first of nine unnamed tracks consist almost solely of Eye's shrieking, the second track introduces the stylings of DJ Carhouse (Japanese improviser Yoshihide Otomo), who seems to have an unnatural fondness for blaring horns and dance beats.

Out of all this extra-musical muck, eYe molds the Boredoms' music into something physical and hyper-textural, embodying it as fully as any sound can be.
Birds and frogs chirp and croak; Yoshimi's precise drumming tip-taps its way from stereo-left to stereo-right; circular guitar vamps mutate into metallic stomps; full group chants begin as opaque percussion before opening up into daylight-bright sun worship, only to withdraw back into the shadows.
It's gorgeous, and its gorgeousness reflects back on the epic that preceded it, as eYe strips the mix down to the pure form underneath the forests and highways.

Following their surprisingly musical set, Zorn took the stage with Boredoms screamer Yamatsuka Eye to again subvert expectations of difficult listening.
Eye's sonic experiments have taken him past pure screaming energy and into more advanced methods of madness, playing with psychedelia and tribal rhythms, a sort of raving mad rave.
Eye didn't stop short of screaming, of course, putting his voice through heavy effects and a plastic tube which also ran through effect while Zorn submerged his mouthpiece in a pitcher of water.

After four long, relentless, bludgeoning onslaughts, Eye and Zorn perform five tiny duets, each under two minutes, which sum up Zorn's work as well as anything in his canon — intense, hilarious, angry, they have you by the seat of your pants.

Eye will trap a shift of tone in a stuttering loop, abruptly skip forward as a way of getting out of a vamp, let chords morph out of digital decay.
The cold, violent harmonics that open the album turn out to be Eye intercutting territory (a fanfare of sustained full-Bore chords) and map (the same, reduced to high-speed rewind noises).
It appears in Eye's graphics (the stylized rising-sun icon that appears all over the packaging), in his liner notes where he thanks "everyone and the sun," in the cries of "shine!" that are the album's only intelligible English lyrics.
