M0RI CH1EKO - KATY0U FUUGETSU (2006)

Ms. Mori is a Koto virtuoso who began playing the instrument at age three. This solo album, augmented at times with her voice, brings the classical-folk tradition of her instrument into the world of the uncanny--where lyricality, spaciousness and intricately woven rhythmic textures meet dissonance, digression and chaos. A dream music smear of gagaku court music, country blues, and outsider serialist improv lullaby. Something that sounds at times like a hybrid of Yoritsube Matsudaira, John Fahey, Joanna Newsom and Derek Bailey. Beautiful.

Dream it...
