This is the 2nd CD release commemorating the 6th anniversary of Ftarri,
the CD shop in Suidobashi, Tokyo. In recent years composer Masamichi
Kinoshita, cello player Tomoki Tai, and composer/computer musician
Takumi Ikeda have departed from their usual musical activities to hold
“Electric Powered Music” concerts–periodic improvised music performances
featuring electrical machinery and devices. These three plus guest
Takuya Harashima (biwa, flute, voice) performed together in an Electric
Powered Music Concert held at Ftarri on June 2, 2018. This CD documents
that concert. As Ikeda (computer, etc.), Kinoshita (junk electronics),
and Tai (remodeled electrical devices) produce a variety of
electric/electronic noise, guest Harashima plays biwa combined with Noh
recitation (first set), and flute (second set). In the second set we
also hear a bit of Kinoshita’s free jazz-style piano playing. The
emergence of the biwa, flute, and recitation from the intervals in the
reverberation of electric/electronic noise results in mysteriously
compelling music that won’t fail to make a powerful impression on
listeners.
