about

Honoured to be able to release this previously unheard recording of phenomenal Japanese drummer and percussionist, Toshi Tsuchitori with his Spiral Arms group and the New Gamelan Ensemble. Recorded in November 1998 at the Setagaya Public Theater in Tokyo, and fully restored and mastered for this release, the set offers 25 minutes of hypnotically galvanising, joyously multilayered, percussive catharsis, which ebbs and flows, whirls and dances, before building to a truly transcendent peak.

In 1998, Toshi Tsuchitori and Spiral Arms were invited to an Art Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, and asked to perform with Indonesian musicians, with three musician participating from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Surakarta. After collaborating and performing in Indonesia, the group came to Japan for a concert together; a visceral, charged performance which this recording documents.
