Tetuzi Akyiama: tape delayed electric guitar ; Jason Kahn: analogue synthesizer, percussion ; Utah Kawasaki: dismanteled roland synthesizer, cell phone. Recorded on 22 April 2004, Tokyo, Japan. 'No less than six new releases on the Creative Sources label, placing the label right in the centre of improvised music.
East meets west on the disc of Tetuzi Akiyama (tape-delayed electric guitar), Jason Kahn (analogue synthesizer and percussion) and Utah Kawasaki (dismantled roland synthesizer and cell phone). Their concert was captured in 2004 in Japan and displays the individual qualities quite nice. It's less silent than I would have expected, and throughout the sound is audible or maybe even a bit more noisy than I expected. There is a sort of continuous backdrop in the music from the ongoing feedback and synthesizer sounds over which loose sounds from the guitar and assorted percussion can be heard. This too is an intense listening experience.' Frans de Waard (Vital)
