Gentle guitar soundscapes blend with the plucked string resonance of a koto to produce a pacific ambience. Do not expect conventional guitar here, for the strings have been heavily processed, transforming their issue into extended drones which waft like self-generated breezes across a still ocean. The result is textural and soothing. There are instances in which the instrument achieves a hint of conventional sound with sustains that are barely recognizable as coming from a guitar. The koto provides sharp augmentation to those atmospherics, with solitary chords and mildly strummed strings establishing a striking contrast. This polarity serves to create an exotic sound as the piercing koto notes punctuate the winding tonalities like sparkles of light going off in a night sky. Although these compositions are spontaneous, performed live with no overdubbing, the effect is quite lucid and meticulous. The soundscapes drift with crystalline definition, crafting drones into a tapestry of infinite sounds which evoke an expansive vista of minimal substance. The koto injects an Eastern flavor to these sparse constructions, giving the music a unique character. - Sonic Curiosity (www.soniccuriosity.com/sc368.htm)

"...long, interesting drones with guitar and koto. The tracks were all recorded live, with minimal post-production fussing... The result is some really top-rate ambient music." - Ambient Music Blog (www.ambientmusicblog.com/2007/06/)
