Hirose Junji & Yasuhiro Yoshigaki / Yoke & Yohs + Kazuhisa Uchihashi

Released in 2013 on the Japanese experimental label Jvtlandt, this record captures a unique intersection of the Japanese avant-garde and free improvisation scenes. It documents collaborative efforts featuring the distinct instrumental approaches of Hirose Junji and Yasuhiro Yoshigaki, alongside the eclectic sounds of the group Yoke & Yohs and guitarist Kazuhisa Uchihashi. The project emerged from a period of cross-pollination within Tokyo's underground performance spaces, where musicians often coalesced into fluid ensembles to explore texture, dissonance, and spontaneous composition.

The design and conceptual direction reflect the minimalist, documentation-focused ethos of the Jvtlandt imprint. By prioritizing the raw output of these improvised sessions, the label sought to archive the visceral energy of live performance rather than polishing the sonic output for mainstream accessibility. It remains a definitive artifact for followers of Uchihashi’s work and those interested in the post-noise era of Japanese experimental music, recognized primarily by enthusiasts for its uncompromising commitment to challenging, non-idiomatic sound.
