Lucky Names



«Makoto Oshiro, Hiroyuki Ura, Shinjiro Yamaguchi and I met in Tokyo in the fall of 2016. Forming two trios, we rehearsed, performed and recorded.
Lucky Names consists on three pieces, recorded live at Omise and l-e, as the product of the encounter of the group and the musical ideas of Makoto Oshiro, Nicolás Carrasco and Shinjiro Yamaguchi.
Without any specific goal or aim in mind, our idea was to explore the open and multiple possibilities of our engagement with the scores, to witness the scope of what could be produced, as group and individuals, through music and sound. »

Reseñas

Julien Héraud para improv sphere (FR)
"Le jeu des instrumentistes a quelque chose d'austère et froid, de rigide et "inorganique". Les musiciens s'effacent avec leur personnalité, leur sonorité et leur instrument pour ne laisser apparaître qu'une forme pure, toute puissante et belle. Il s'agit bien là d'une musique formelle non au sens péjoratif, mais au sens où le son et les musiciens ne sont plus que des instruments de la composition, ils ne sont plus qu'un outil au profit de la création d'une idée."
