Akaihirume is a Japanese singer whose ear is always tuned to the world's sounds, which she keeps as material in her shell. As both an original songwriter and an improviser she has worked with a variety of artists, including Carl Stone, Joke Lanz, Simon Fisher Turner and Yasumune Morishige.
Akaihirume's voice, sometimes gruff and animal-like, sometimes clear as a bell on the Vistula, will become prime material for my patented live sampling mischief. (Carl Stone)
