Live

by Improvised Music From Japan

Live cover art

An essential artifact of the incredibly minimalist Tokyo 'onkyo' scene, featuring pioneers like Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M, and Toshimaru Nakamura. Utilizing bare-bones electronics and extended silences, the collective engages in highly abstract, microscopic sound manipulation that demands intense focus and patience.
