Four excellent pieces from a Japanese composer and performer who moves happily from one world to another; she is a member of the fine Bidziliba and of Otomo Yoshihide's Cathode but here she presents more formal compositions - for environmental sound and percussion ensemble; for flute, oboe and marimba (slightly reminiscent of Ravel); for three guitars (a beautiful piece employing sparse playing, dissonant tuning, interference patterns, as she says 'like ripples...confirming the reality of their existence'; and for bass marimba and vibraphone (faster, denser but also forming a slow spreading pattern). A fine CD showing again that
