I’m excited to share that my latest album, “Rasenkiryū”, has been released by OTOOTO, a venue and record label based in Tokyo.
This album captures a live performance at Permian in 2022 with the incredible Takashi Masubuchi (acoustic guitar) and Takashi Tsuda (electric guitar, sound objects). Tracks 1 and 2 are included on the CD, while tracks 3 and 4 can be downloaded from Bandcamp using the included download code, making it a pseudo double album.
Performing alongside Masubuchi’s deeply resonant guitar and Tsuda’s alchemical sounds was a transformative experience, and I’m so happy to share this live recording with you.
Due to the label’s policy, digital sales and shop distribution will begin after this spring. For now, you can listen to a preview here:
