Kiyoharu Kuwayama (cello, violin)
and Rina Kijima (violin,viola) have been creating
rich, flowing live improvisations for someyears. On
previous efforts, they have recorded improvisational
pieces
under a highway interpass whereby the environmental
sounds of thearea are heard in the background of each
piece.
Much of this music isto be heard on
the trente oiseaux, gg, and 20 City labels, to name
afew. With this release, we hear a refinement of this
sound as theimprovisations found on this CD were recorded
in the empty warehouseno.20.
Gone are passing cars and other incidental
sounds. This workgives us the chance to hear the beautiful
interplay of these two gifted musicians that is flawlessly
recorded and leaves no detailunheard or muffled. The
CD is packaged between five beautiful doublesided
cards containing artwork from Kiyoharu that suggests
alchemyand the melting of sound. An edition of 400.
