RECONSTRUCTIONS by CHEE SHIMIZU + MIKU-MARI

Excerpts taken from a 2-hour improvised performance by Chee Shimizu and Tokyo guitarist Miku-mari a.k.a. Takahiro Matsumura

Chee collaged various percussion samples and personal field recordings utilizing four CDJs, supplementing with live windchimes and Andean chajchas, while miku-mari coupled a guitar-controlled synthesizer, Sound Tube software (developed by Japanese Ambient composer Hiroshi Yoshimura) and more live elements such as Tibetan bells and pyramid crystals. Rehearsals for this performance were held prior to the festival at ForestLimit, recorded as multi-tracks and edited into these two cerebral Reconstructions.
