Makoto Oshiro, Takahiro Kawaguchi

*200 copies limited edition* The latest release from Makoto Oshiro and Takahiro Kawaguchi, who have been collaborating since around 2008. Side A, loco, reconsiders the nature of improvisation by weaving together sounds from self-made devices and (non-)instruments—air horns, electromagnetic relays, air compressors, washers—alongside environmental recordings captured outside the studio. Side B, loci, brings together field recordings captured by both artists, each starting to record at the exact same moment in different locations on a summer day—as if synchronizing their awareness alone were enough to constitute collaboration.
