Performed by Soma & Lil
Soma Allpass: cello and Lil Lacy: cello, piano and vocal
- with generous support from: Yoshio Machida: steel drums (track 5) and
Haruhiko Okabe: saxophone and hichiriki; an ancient Japanese oboe (track 3, 4, 7 and 10).
The album was recorded during a 3-week tour of Japan in October 2018 and consists of excerpts of concerts played in different venues, as well as field recordings of nature, train rides and places visited.
The music consists of improvisations inspired by the journey, landscape, people and not least Gagaku music - a collage of impressions of Japan, expressed in sounds and tones woven together.
