Yuki Fujiwara

Featuring: Bill Laswell

This is the first release from the Japanese shinobue and flute player Yuki Fujiwara. Boarding Yuki's musical ship feels as if the pier exists in a strange space between the past and the future going to a journey to a land which is not here anymore and is not still there. A deep connection to the music world of Toru Takemitsu! 

''But Glass Colored Lilly is not just a modern take on Japanese traditions, not at all. Small details on the production and small scale contributions from all the musicians reveal a soundworld. Improvisational small scale additions like Sonoyama’s short sax phrases, notes by Apfelbaum on the keys, the rich weirdness of Laswell’s bass (much more melodic that anything I heard for a long time) and, of course, the humble, egoless not centered on keeping any rhythm, playing by Adam Rudolph on percussion'' - Fotis Nikolakopoulos
