Yoshiki Ichihara lives in Tokyo. He initially launched a band as guitarist, but his interest later shifted to improvised/experimental music, and he has continued his musical creation and exploration using instruments including guitar, cello, synthesizer, field recordings, and Max/MSP. Ichihara first appeared at Ftarri in February 2021, in a duo concert with Beijing sound artist Jin Guo, and has since performed there a number of times.
Ichihara performed at Ftarri with synthesizer player Ken Ikeda on June 13, 2021, and with electronics player Leo Okagawa on August 22, 2021. This album documents those two performances.

Delightful album! The piano skill, with purposely driven restraint has hints of Feldman. One rarely finds such appreciation for the silence between the notes. Richard Erickson
