Toshimaru Nakamura, Gintė Preisaitė

*200 copies limited edition* Gintė Preisaitė is an up-and-coming pianist from Lithuania. Currently based in Copenhagen, she is active on the improvised/experimental music scene, using electronics and vocals in her performances in addition to piano. During a visit to Japan in September 2024, she performed at Ftarri, Tokyo, on the 23rd in a duo with no-input mixing board player Toshimaru Nakamura. An internationally active musician known for improvised performances using mixer feedback, Nakamura has released numerous CDs on Ftarri labels.

This CD contains one track documenting that day’s 38-minute performance by the two musicians. In addition to her main instrument, piano, Preisaitė produced sounds using small electronics. Nakamura's variegated feedback sound intersects with Preisaitė’s skillful piano playing, and their sometimes quiet, sometimes noisy performance goes through various transformations, resulting in a remarkably engaging work.
