Studio Recording
(Relative Pitch)
A fierce studio document from the Japanese free-improvising trio of Makoto Kawashima on alto saxophone, Louis Inage on bass, and Naoto Yamagishi on drums and percussion, moving through charged silences, abrasive eruptions, fractured melody, dark bass resonance, and scattered percussive force in a raw, intuitive exchange rooted in underground intensity and collective risk.
