abstract
  • Maki Fujii and Hisashi Imai originally conceived Schaft as a one-off monikor for a track a compilation in 1991. After a few sporadic live performances, they decided to bring in several guest collaborators (most prominently Raymond Watts of Pig and KMFDM) to record a full album in 1994. Collaborations with popular English artists such as Autechre, Coil, and Meat Beat Manifesto brought a cult following to the project. Fujii and Imai would go on to use the Schaft name on sporadic occasions when collaborating or appearing live together over the years, but the next full Schaft album and tour wouldn't arrive until 2016.

  • For the robot of the same name developed in Tokyo university and purchased by Google, see DARPA Robotics ChallengeSchaft was a Japanese musical side project whose main members were Maki Fuji of Soft Ballet and Hisashi Imai of Buck-Tick. Schaft can be thought of as being a supergroup in that Maki and Imai formed the core of the group and a rotating roster of collaborators, who are well-known within their genres, were brought in to work on various songs. Raymond Watts of PIG was Schaft's most recurring collaborator, having contributed to half the songs on their debut album and toured with the band.
