Fuji Yuki & Michel Henritzi & Harutaka Mochizuki Shiroi Kao (Free Wind Mood Series)

Limited to 250. Comes in a 7 inch silk-screened jacket with obi, insert and postcard printed by Alan Sherry. Fuji Yuki is a Japanese female vocalist known as a member of the ethereal drone pop duo Sarry. She is influenced by ancient music, Buddhist ritual music, krautrock, progressive rock, noise music, and abstract experimental music. Her vocal styles include unusual singing approaches: minimal phrase repetition, voice drone, etc. Her voice works as one of a number of great instruments. Many artists have played with her original abstract sounds. Makoto Kawabata (of Acid Mothers Temple) on Fuji-Yuki: "If it were possible to project sound through a crystal, it would probably sound something like this. Like a book of prophecy where multiple speculations are blended together, its intimations and allusions left obscure. And at the same time it's like infringing some taboo by creating a rapport with memories of a distant, past life. Weird hymns that waver between curiosity and dread." For fans of Djong Yun (Popol Vuh) and Lisa Gerrard. Harutaka Mochizuki is is a multi-instrumentalist who dedicates a significant part of his output to solo saxophone performances, following a long tradition of Japanese experimental improvisers that, from Kaoru Abe onward, has investigated this particular musical environment with uncompromising rigour. Mochizuki is playing with the nature of timbre and the formation of melody, following a mysterious logic that keeps the music in an unresolved, oddly captivating dimension. More recently he participated to the last Kazuki Tomokawa album and he’s still playing with Aoki Tomoyuki from UP-Tight band. Michel Henritzi, a long time japanophile, is a guitarist drifting between abstract blues and noise music. He has played with Junko (Hijokaidan) for years, Rinji Fukuoka, Tetuzi Akiyama, Jojo Hiroshige, Masayoshi Urabe and Chie Mukai. Mostly known as a member of the Dust Breeders, he has been recording with Rinji Fukuoka for years for labels such P.S.F and Pataphysique Records

Winter record, flowers and snowflakes. Here is the blue sky into which the breath evaporates and kisses the white clouds, the crystal voice and the brass notes will fall like a wet snow on a long gone time, something vanished and still...
