about the cd

Kannazuki—the traditional name for the tenth month of the year in the Japanese lunar calendar—is a glimpse into a one-off improvisation by a quartet of musicians: Haco, Takako Minekawa, Dustin Wong, and Jára Tarnovski. This session took place in Tokyo in 2017 and was recorded by Hideaki Hayashidani at Nanahari. The musicians describe it as a “musical adventure,” a “translucent entanglement,” and a moment of deep respect for each other.

The result is an exciting yet unrushed ambient piece, “an imaginative world” guided by instinct and deep listening from each member of the ensemble. Dustin Wong, who mixed the record, recalls that “each track had a life of its own, each could have been a piece in itself. But when the sounds converged, they created a completely new world, a new context.” The 18 minutes of Kannazuki speak for themselves, as desolate ambient landscapes dissolve into digital deep forests, while robotic tropical birds are suddenly showered by colorful raindrops in the warm breeze.
