about

This is volume one of arrangements for the Tonkori Kalimba and Hohner Guitaret of traditional Ainu music.

Volume One "High Island Sound" is concerned with Ainu songs and dances that represent birds.

This is another experiment in situated music, and is as authentic as Grainger or Bartok as interpretation. I would wholeheartedly recommend you listen to the perfection that is Ainu music originally.

Principally playing original compositions of an ambient nature on the Hohner Guitaret as well as other thumb pianos/finger harps/lamellophones.
Interested in orchestration using field recordings, per the great John Cage's suggestions (1937).
The pieces are all pataphysical book reviews. They consist of musical essays on books of the same title that haven't been written, but should have. ... more
