On August 11, 2019, Osaka-based musicians mizutama, Tadashi Yonago and Kayu Nakada, plus Tokyo residents Junji Hirose, Toshimaru Nakamura, Daysuke Takaoka and Yuma Takeshita, got together and performed at Ftarri in Suidobashi, Tokyo. This album documents all three of that day's improvised sets—a duo by mizutama (snap circuits) and Toshimaru Nakamura (no-input mixing board); another duo by Tadashi Yonago (flashlight, sprinkler) and Daysuke Takaoka (tuba); and a trio by Kayu Nakada (bug synthesizer), Junji Hirose (SSI-4) and Yuma Takeshita (electro-bass). All of these musicians create their own original sound-producing devices, or shape sound by remodeling existing instruments/machines or using/playing them in unusual ways. Hearing collaborations that combine their unique sounds is a rare opportunity in itself, but it doesn't stop there—we also get to experience three masterful performances bolstered further by the superb musicianship of these seven artists.

This is the favourite dance or your new curly robots.
They walk and ride on a very monotonous and fast peace bringing love and gamelan breeze from another metalic satellite.
Sometimes the robots are tiny, as ants that dance in oval dishes.. and sometmes they are like trembling hands that move around the floor of interplanetary ships. bardotodolpablopicco
