Seijiro Murayama, a percussionist/drummer currently based in Japan, lived in France for a number of years and has received acclaim in the west for his musicianship. He performs frequently both inside and outside Japan. This is Murayama's first solo album since Broken Iteration was released on the Herbal International label four years ago, in 2013. It consists of two tracks of about 20 minutes and one of about 7 minutes (3 in total). Overlapping and combining with percussion and scraping sounds are electronic sounds, field recordings of sounds like birdsong and flowing water, and vocal sounds. Rich in creativity and fantasy, this is an album that could only have been made by Seijiro Murayama.
