Players:
Masayo Asahara - composer, edit
Martin Archer - violectronic

‘Shades of Stockhausen and Galina Ustvolskaya to our ears, but with that distinctive Asahara minimalist touch. The 60 minute span seems to pass in a quarter of the time.’

“A 64 minute excursion into the possibilities ofprepared piano and electronics generated from a table top violin. And, as it turns out, the possibilities seem near endless.”
- Daniel Spicer, Jazzwise
“The compositional approach and bare eastern sensibility, brings forward an emptiness where modesty of resources or striking contrasts move at ease.”
- Modisiti
The worst of and the best of Cage and Stockhausen, all provided in one handy pouch of minimal grumbling.”
- Ed Pinsent, Sound Projector
