Tsuguhiko Egawa, Narration Music



Kazue Kobata speaks to (and translates) Tsuguhiko Egawa, a young performer and composer whose music is an unusual form of speech that he has invented from overheard conversations and soundtracks. During the interview, he sings both a cappella and accompanies himself on—of all things—the ukulele. With Ryuichi Daijo on guitar as well. Fascinating.
