Nobukazu Takemura (竹村延和 Takemura Nobukazu; born August 28, 1968, in Hirakata, Osaka) is a Japanese musician and artist. He became interested in music at a young age by listening to the radio, and began to make music at home with a tape recorder and keyboard. During high school, after a record store job that exposed him to jazz and hip-hop, he had regular gigs in the clubs of Osaka and Kyoto as a battle DJ before launching his music career. Takemura's music career has seen him cover a wide range of genres and styles within short periods of time. Beginning his career in hip-hop and jazz, Takemura later entered into a prolific period as an electronic musician, exploring genres such as glitch, drum and bass and minimalism. Takemura's most recent work has included chamber music and performance art.

Another Anglo-Japan connection, Changing Hands is Jansen/Barbieri's best work for some time, together with Nobukazu Takemura. Unique in its creative process, tapes were sent back and forth between London and Tokyo. Some of Changing Hands is unnecessarily long, but most works fine including the sexy groove of "Subtle Bodies," "Children Gathering Around the Lake," and the wintery "Memory and Listening."
