Piano works from Hiroko
A work fromo Hiroko living in Kyoto Japan.
Living in Brazil for a year, she came back to Japan. Although she is known as a percussionist, she has a face as a piano player. Playing piano since she was a child, piano is her instrument, that she dose’t need to worry anything. This is a natural way to play for her.
There’s nothing to think about when playing piano.
This sounds like sound floating in the air.
No additional feeling and noise in this pease.

CREST-0001
Rinne, Shinsuke and Hiroko played at Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art with a painter name Show-ra on Sep 20th ‘09.
Show-ra belongs to a artist group called “Shinsho” founded late ‘50th. This performance idea is live painting. although there are may live painting, mostly at cafe’ or anywhere around gallery, they’d like to do something different. This experience is an experiment not only the sound react to image but also how the image reacts to sound. It can be abstract scale and we never known how the image sounds like and how the sound looks like.
Show-ra kept painting the image about more than 10 feet squares for a week though 13th to 20th. Rinne and Shinsuke attended last day and played to finish the work. Hiroko, percussionist based in Kyoto, also played with them.

Anthology

na : LIVE AT RED ROOM BALTIMORE 2006JAN14TH
I found na’s past live recording at Red Room Baltimore.
On this recording, there’s an episode, that na is actually Japanese trio of Kazz known as Pwfl Power or half yogurt, Noriaki, and Shin known as YumyUmyuM. This was taped as a tour document of there East Cost Tour 2006. During the tour, after finishing show at Tonic in NY. Kazz left and went back to Seattle. So, they had to continue the rest of tour with two left member Noriaki and Shin.
Anyway, they made to had show at Red Room. This is a fantastic place supporting independent and local or world wide culture. People are nice. Place is good. I think this show was fun.

Duo of Noriaki and Shin 01
This was recorded in Seattle around 2002 or sometimes. I don’t remember.
Before na, seattle based chaotic pop improvisation group, was formed, the core member, Noriaki and Shinsuke were played together.
It can be quiet different from na sounds like, It’s more likely tend to ambient.
This was released to sale when they played at cafe’ Messsiah in seattle.
Unfortunately, this album is no more for sale. So, we put free mp3 links on its discography page.
