Seiichi Yamamoto (山本 精一 Yamamoto Seiichi, born July 16, 1958) is a Japanese musician. While perhaps most famous for his role as guitarist for the noise rock band Boredoms, he has released multitudes of records both as a solo artist and with several other musicians and bands, in addition to composing the soundtracks to several films.
Yamamoto had left Boredoms prior to the release of Seadrum/House of Sun; the album contains samples of previously recorded guitar work.
In addition to performing in these bands, Yamamoto has collaborated with dozens of other bands of varying genres.
