‘Live in Kyoto is the long awaited second release by the trio of Chie Mukai, Eric Cordier and Seichi Yamamoto. Over four bruised side long cuts, Live in Kyoto faithfully captures the intensity of one particularly eviscerating evening at Kyoto’s Tanq Room in 2004 of ritualized self expression. This is liminal ecstatic drone, clatter and relentless sound bursts with a rough around the edges vibe that maintains a loose kinetic debt to everything from La Monte Young and the Theater of Eternal Music to Keiji Haino, AMM and Fushitsusha’ (Locust).
