Seijiro Murayama, Stephane Rives

'Japanese percussionist Seijiro Murayama has been working in France since 1999. His musical approach is based on extreme attention to the performance space, the energy of the audience and the quality of silence. He is interested in how continuous sounds and microscopic events can delicately revitalize the environment. Now established in Beirut (Lebanon), french saxophonist Stéphane Rives has spent over last ten years developing new sonic array of extended techniques on the soprano. On this recording, Seijiro Murayama and Stéphane Rives mainly focus on creating drone music while exploring the many subtle variations of texture sounds.' Notes from the label
