Kazue Kobata, Tokyo Correspondent, hosts as Tristan Honzinger, Shuichi Chino, and Ryuichi Daijo join forces for the second time in a two hour concert at Tokyo's Plan B. This infinitely complicated gig requires listeners' full attention.

A private music session at a quaint local club in downtown Tokyo, with American cellist, Tristan Honsinger, pianist Shuichi Chino, and guitarist Ryuichi Daijo. The aim was to set up an interface between vets and novitiates of freely improvised music.

Ryuichi Daijo introduces a Chilean folklore guitarist/composer Violeta Parra (1917-1967), who composed and played music derived from her love for folklore. Parra also began weaving and painting late in life in a fantastical, surrealistic style.

The impressario Kazue Kobata presented this live concert at Plan B Tokyo in August, 2004 featuring musicians playing instruments of their own invention including sound artist Atsuhiro Ito, with his optron amplified fluorescent tube.

Kazue Kobata speaks to (and translates) Tsuguhiko Egawa, a young performer and composer whose music is an unusual form of speech that he has invented from overheard conversations and soundtracks.
