Chihei Hatakayama & Shun Ishiwaka

Between them they've played across ambient, experimental, electronic, pop, hiphop, jazz, and metal projects, and that's what this release represents - a meeting of like-minded musicians with innumerable reference points coming together at an epoch-making juncture to produce an ambient work brimming with creativity and understanding.

Chihei's specific references for guitar treatments on this album include My Bloody Valentine, Les Rallizes Denudes and Keiji Haino. Both musicians drew on their love of Free Jazz and Spiritual Jazz, and in particular the works of Alice Coltrane and later period Sun Ra. Psycho-acoustic considerations, chance, spontaneity and the cross- section at which musician's respond (or not) to each other, in the heat of the moment, were all inspirations for this remarkable project
