"On August 11, 2019, Osaka-based musicians mizutama, Tadashi Yonago and Kayu Nakada, plus Tokyo residents Junji Hirose, Toshimaru Nakamura, Daysuke Takaoka and Yuma Takeshita, got together and performed at Ftarri in Suidobashi, Tokyo.
This album documents all three of that day's improvised setsoa duo by mizutama (snap circuits) and Toshimaru Nakamura (no-input mixing board); another duo by Tadashi Yonago (flashlight, sprinkler) and Daysuke Takaoka (tuba); and a trio by Kayu Nakada (bug synthesizer), Junji Hirose (SSI-4) and Yuma Takeshita (electro-bass).
All of these musicians create their own original sound-producing devices, or shape sound by remodeling existing instruments/machines or using/playing them in unusual ways. Hearing collaborations that combine their unique sounds is a rare opportunity in itself, but it doesn't stop there we also get to experience three masterful performances bolstered further by the superb musicianship of these seven artists."-Meenna
