Notes
Recorded April 11-16, 1988 at Baby Monster Studio N.Y.C.
ADD
All tracks except 4 and 11 are realtime improvisations.
"Most concerts of traditional Japanese music is attended by old men and women with no teeth. Sato Michihiro is fed up with this. He wants a younger audience. After breaking with his sensei ("teacher") he began actively pursuing this aim, breaking new ground and breathing new life into the highly improvisational music of the Tsugaru shamisen. We met in 1986 and recorded our first record together GANRYU ISLAND documenting our duo performances. With RODAN, Sato has been grouped in duo, trio and quartet formats with 16 of the most exiting young musicians living in New York today. They all share a passion for improvisation."
John Zorn, January 1989
