Following their 2009 release of the same title, this album of primarily free improvisation is a well-paced presentation of two 3-movement works between Japanese percussionist Seijiro Murayama providing precise rhythmic abstractions, and French sound artist Eric La Casa using field recordings of recurring and curious sound sources plus objects to expand Muriyama's punctuations.

"When and how does a gesture leave the domain of the ordinary for that of the extraordinary, and is perceived as such by all ? Where, within each space, is the threshold of the extraordinary, and therefore of the musical?"-Swarming
"Whether playing percussion or recording, when do our gestures become musical ? (...)Where, within each space, is the threshold of the extraordinary, and therefore of the musical ? Isn't this what making an event consists of ? Deliberately interrupting the continuity of the ordinary. What is sure is that our small, simple, repeated gestures do produce a series of frictions with this ordinariness, gradually leading to slight discontinuities that significantly alter the course of daily life.
The ordinary ceases to be continuous, and through our action assumes another state whose nature remains to be defined. We think that the spaces Ð temporal, almost physical Ð we open up in the life of the place both modify and reinforce how we listen to it. A slight increase of our attention to certain environmental characteristics produces a significant change in the way we listen to space and time in everyday life Ð yet one whose meaning escapes us."-from the liner notes, translated by Dan Warburton

Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Eric La Casa "968: Born in Tours, France. ^ Hide Bio for Eric La Casa • Show Bio for Seijiro Murayama "Percussionist Seijiro Murayama was born in 1957 in Nagasaki, Japan. He started performing improvised music in 1972, under some influence of Vinko Globokar and musicologist Fumio Koizumi. After graduated from Tokyo University in 1982 in Urdu studies he toured the USA with Keiji Haino as part of the seminal psychedelic band Fushitsusha. Returning to Japan after a period in NYC he continued playing drums and electronics in K.K. Null's noise/rock band A.N.P. (Absolut Null Punkt), while further exploring free improvisation. A relocation to France in 1999 led to collaborations that extended into dance, theatre and performance as well as ongoing partnerships with musicians Jean-Luc Guionnet, Eric Cordier, Michel Doneda, Mattin, Lionel Marchetti, among many others. After over a decade in Europe he relocated back to Japan in 2013. His artistic principal is to work with the idea of the plural or inter-disciplinary relationships between music and other disciplines of art: dance, video, paintings, photos, literature etc. In this way, he collaborates with musicians, composers, and sound artists. Improvisation is always the major concern for him, even if it is not his artistic goal. His approach is based on the attention to space and place, to the energy of the audience and to the quality and perception of silence on various levels." ^ Hide Bio for Seijiro Murayama
