Formed in Sydney in 1997 by Ian Cleworth and Riley Lee, Taikoz has toured Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the USA and Australia, collaborating with orchestras, composers, theatre companies and choreographers along the way. From the delicate melodies of the shakuhachi flute to the thunderous impact of the 50-200kg odaiko drums, Taikoz is at once meditative and free-spirited, primal and dramatic.
