Shiraishi, Tamio - Sora
SKU
RPR SS 003
“This is the fourth release in the Relative Pitch solo series which features artists who deserve wider recognition for their solo work.
Tamio Shiraishi was, along with Keiji Haino, a founding member of the Japanese avant garde group Fushitsusha in the late 1970s. Since moving to New York, he has honed his unique approach to the alto saxophone in the NYC subways.
His microtonal exploration of the altissimo-range is on full display here. The seven tracks on Sora are from three studio sessions recorded in 2018-2019. The recording opens and closes with Shiraishi exploring the rich reverb of Issue Project Room's Boerum Place location. His unique sound will rattle your ossicles.”
