Album Notes & Community Reviews

This extreme electroacoustic collaboration pairs Toshimaru Nakamura's signature 'no-input mixing board' with Ami Yoshida's jarring, non-lexical vocal improvisations. The recording is astonishingly minimalist, focusing on micro-sounds, feedback loops, and sudden bursts of avant-garde noise within vast expanses of silence. It is a defining, highly challenging piece of the Japanese Onkyo movement.
