In performance he is remarkably focused, guiding the overall shape of the music with a masterful sense of form and dynamics. Nakatani has collaborated extensively with both Donald Miller and Rob Cambre over the last five years, performing with them in duo and trio settings as well as guest spots with butoh dance ensemble The Death Posture.
