(Field Recording, Experimental, Free Improvisation) Homeogryllus Japonicus Orchestra 2004 - Homeogryllus Japonicus Orchestra 2004 (with Keiji Haino, Mamoru Fujieda) - 2005, FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

"Homeogryllus Japonicus, the nomemclature of Suzumushi or bell cricket, has been affectionately know in Japan since Heian period. This little summer insect appeared on the several scenes of japanese old novels such as "Tales of Genji" and "Manyo-shu" due to its subtle and beautiful singing. Now, summer 2004 in Tokyo, the performance/installation entitled Homeogryllus Japonicus Orchestra (conducted by Great YEar Sounding) catabolizes this Suzumushi's singing through amplifying and mixing.
All the performance, Mamoru Fujieda, known for prantron, the installation using botanic pulse, and Keiji Haino, a modern-day shaman, will also make an appearance. Who knows - the evening may finish without any sound as in 4'33'' by John Cage. It may play delicate love songs as in old Heian verses. Relax and expose yourself to the world of Suzumushi's microcosmos on a beautiful summer evening."
