This extended to a series of gigs. The chemistry was instantaneous and recording sessions for this 2 volume epic followed, in March 2023. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChihei's specifc references for guitar treatments on this album include My Bloody Valentine, Les Rallizes Denudes and Keiji Haino.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Both musicians drew on their love of Free Jazz and Spiritual Jazz, and in particular the works of Alice Coltrane and later period Sun Ra. Psycho-acoustic considerations, chance, spontaneity and the cross- section at which musician's respond (or not) to each other, in the heat of the moment, were all inspirations for this remarkable project, which is being released in 2 separate volumes across 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gearbox","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50422571532619,"sku":"2193446","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50422571303243,"sku":"2193445","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c814e67a-b4c1-4f37-9ac8-ec5dc39c01ed_44ffbb08_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726764905"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/chihei-hatakayama.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
