KIYOSHI MIZUTANI & KIYOHARU KUWAYAMA / INTERLUDE ( CD, either/oar USA 2011)

Kiyoshi Mizutani: feedback
Kiyoharu Kuwayama: handmade electronics, contact mic & mix

and/OAR (via either/OAR) is very pleased to present what is without a
doubt among the very best of both artist's electronic-based work.
Throughout much of this highly charged release, brooding clouds of
swarming tones and drones envelope the listener, either inducing a
hypnotic trance or a deep contemplative listening state.
This work is the result of a mail exchange. At first, Kiyoshi created the
feedback sound in the studio using a suspended microphone, mixer and
some effects. Sometimes drum sticks, steel and wooden chair were used
to influence the sound. Kiyoshi's recorded sound was sent to Kiyoharu who
then processed the materials and edited and mixed the sound with his
own materials.

Lethe / Dry Ice On Steel Tables (CD, and/oar USA 2011)

Kiyoharu Kuwayama: dry ice, steel tables & candles.
A remarkable document of a live performance recorded on September
11th, 2003 at No, 20 warehouse, Nagoya Port, Japan. The sounds heard in
this recording were created by Kiyoharu's application of dry ice to four steel
tables which were heated by candles. No electronic processing or
post-production editing of the performance was done.
Kiyoharu has had his various work published by a number of respected
recording labels such as Trente Oiseaux, Intransitive, Locust, ICR, Alluvial
Recordings, Monochrome Vision, Invisible Birds, 20City, among others.

Recorded at No 20 warehouse, , Nagoya Port September 11th, 2003
