Composer Masamichi Kinoshita, cellist Tomoki Tai, and
composer/computer musician Takumi Ikeda perform on electrical equipment and electronics in the electric noise project Electric Powered Music. Kinoshita and Tai started playing sessions together around 2008 and were joined by Ikeda soon thereafter.
This album includes two live improvised performances presented at Ftarri, Tokyo. The performance on track 1 (42 minutes) took place on February 26, 2023; the track 2 performance (31 minutes), on October 23, 2022. Kinoshita played commercial electronics, Tai used remodeled and self-made electric devices, and Ikeda played electronics. "Noisy" sound is tinged with splendor and opulence in this powerful, impressive recording.

Delightful album! The piano skill, with purposely driven restraint has hints of Feldman. One rarely finds such appreciation for the silence between the notes. Richard Erickson
A brave experimental record from the Cecilia Lopez & Ingrid Laubrock running darting sax lines through dense electronics & processing. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2023
