Improvised and Minimal

Host, Kazue Kobata provides illuminating commentary on this performance of improvised music by contemporary international musicians playing live at Plan B in Tokyo. The bill includes British sax player John Butcher, Tokyo's Otomo Yoshihide (playing his turntables with a contact microphone and no records), Rhodri Davies of Wales, on a harp he plays with two electronic bows, and superminimalist Toshimaru Nakamura adding the electronic chrirps, hisses, murmurs and buzzes.


Ryuichi Daijo did the selecting and editing for this program.
