I've been listening to her duo with sam meehan and another disc with toshimaru nakamura. here's a profile:

Its a limited palette of sounds/tones, and at times, there's a lack of coherence to it, and you're screaming for some contrast from whoever she's playing a duo with. But I can't help to admire the straight-face-ed-ness of it all.

There's a ton of stuff on the otomo thread, so i guess there might not be much to say for now:

Otomo Yoshihide: Search and Destroy

But I think she deserves a thread of her own. I might just get the box (mentioned on the otomo thread) (its a bit cheeky of them, this could have been a 3-disc release):

Also - any new kiddie sinewave fiddlers?

As opposed to sinewave kiddie fiddlers? How do you fiddle a sinewave?

I just got the last Sachiko M solo disc Bar Sachiko. I listened to it for about a half hour, but I think these days, my head is in a different place. It didn't seem much more than a single sine wave, and with her, I'm more interested when a foil is involved. I would start w/the Cosmos Tears disc or her duos with Toshimaru Nakamura (I have do). Also, Filament and ISO are good. I haven't heard anything from the Filament box, and have a hard time justifying buying it since my interest in pure sine stuff is waning. I can say that 29092000 had a big impact on me when I first heard it. That "straight-face-ed-ness" you admire starts to wear a bit thin after repeated listenings, and I also start to crave some kind of dialogue or contrast. In some way, I suspect I'm missing the point, but oh well.

(I also got the IMJ 2003 EXTRA mag, and found lots more to get into, stuff that sounded completely different from the usual onkyo sparseness)

(btw the duo with nakamura that I have is called 'un')

I'm doing some stuff in the vein of sine wave stuff

also - quadraphonic phasing

a little late, but RE: your first post, that's Sean Meehan, Julio. I'm sure you know that, just putting it in there for others.

He's a very nice and talented dude, btw.

The Malfatti collab looks great, I don't know if they've ever worked together before. She's on a ton of records, but one of my very favorites is the Absinth record on GROB, with Dafeldecker, Tilbury and someone else. Definitely a Search!
