about

Mama!milk's double bass player Kosuke Shimizu's first album as a leader.
This album was created over five years with close musicians, repeatedly deconstructing and reworking concrete sounds he collected while traveling and at home, clearly demonstrating his talent as a composer and sound creator.

Distant Saxophones
by Jan Steele & Janet Sherbourne

supported by 7 fans who also own “MICROMACRO”

The tracks from this on the original Obscure release in the mid-70s, particularly "All Day," really opened my ears as a composer (as did much of the rest of the discs on that label). They sound even better here, along with other tracks of theirs. The release also includes PDFs of several scores, which are a great resource. Joseph Zitt
