KEIKO HIGUCHI NAOTO YAMAGISHI : Keiko Higuchi Naoto Yamagishi

'Recording Note
Naoto Yamagishi and Keiko Higuchi have both studied abroad and returned to Japan: Yamagishi from France and Higuchi from the USA.
I believe they have some kinds of strong messages to express with the concern and worry for the distrust towards the Japanese politics and the unstableness of the current world situation.
Their performance makes people assume that it shatters the existing concept of the music and, as a result, brings out some sounds like a cry, but there is not only a sorrow prevailing. It’s quite agreeable to find them also enjoying the sounds.
I feel very much honored to be able to release such an album from my Wildcat House Label.
I hope you enjoy this music with your senses as seeing abstract paintings.
And I would also be very happy if this may inspire you to move on to your next action.
The sounds of thunder and rain were coincidentally recorded towards the very last, which has also made this album even more miraculous.
I had recorded this with 2 mics set in the width of the human ears.
