chiharu mk is a Japanese experimental electronic musician and Sachiko Nagata, also from Japan, is a percussionist who plays a peculiar instrument: 'Hamon', which is a bow iron drum which is blended with field recordings that come from Hokkaido, an island in the North of Japan. Sounds of birds, gulls and other birds, raindrops, 'Hamon' timbres that spread across the sound environment give more depth and colorful and rhythm to the music. Such is the variety of sounds ('Blow Flow I' and Blow Flow II ') that become melodies, it's better to be careful and not to miss anything. 'Blow Flow III' I Blow Flow' has an intense and penetrating drone in the background but still the birds and the 'Hamon' mark their presence. Amazing disc! / Guillermo Escudero March 2013

ー深白の記憶へー snowscape moere 4
This story started from an unexpected phone call:"Could you make a concert with the sound of winter in Hokkaido?"
Collecting and listening to various sounds of winter in Hokkaido, I started thinking by MIYAZAWA Kenji.
This story is staged on a train of winter, and exactly mataches the world of collected sound of winter in Hokkaido.
The concert was composed withe electroacoustic music,with percussion by MIZUGAI Akiko who played Crystal Singing Bowls,Sanukite,Shanti Chime and with text from MIYAZAWA Kenji's fairy tale and sounds played from 8 channel Multi speaker system.
On this night, the expanded sound world in the glass pyramid of Moerenuma Park was breathless, exceeding stereophony, creating fantastic spaces.This pyramid is the "special" place and became part of my work.
