Using the resonance of the parking garage under the Jazz Cat in Monterey Park, California, Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist Patrick Shiroishi recorded nine solo improvisations, interacting with the environmental sound and reverberant ambiance through contemplative, curious and explosive moments, at times augmenting his saxophone with the metallic notes of a glockenspiel.

"Fresh off a tour with The Armed, and on the heels of countless releases and collaborations, Patrick Shiroishi's music is as vital and stirring as ever on I Was Too Young To Hear Silence. Where his breakout release, 2021's Hidemi, used choruses of saxophones and vocals to memorialize his grandfather, I Was Too Young To Hear Silence expands the scope of his remembrance. Shiroishi's chosen instruments are alto saxophone, glockenspiel, and a cavernous parking garage through which the former's melodies reverberate. It's an apt setting for Shiroishi's continuing confrontation of the legacy of Japanese concentration camps."-American Dreams
