Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from his trademark walls of electric feedback, the legendary Japanese provocateur focuses entirely on the hurdy-gurdy for this release. The extended, acoustic improvisations create a hauntingly serene and intensely cryptic atmosphere, exploring the instrument's droning, medieval tonalities.
