motohiro nakashima and sakuro "kant" watanabe live @ kanadian, november 2004
edition one, limited to 50 copies
a snapshot of the underground musical happenings of Osaka, Japan. this recording was made at a series of weekly tuesday night gigs by nakashima and watanabe. the music here is subtle: looped but fragmented. the sound of jangling percussion and droning vocals of watanabe are carefully placed on top of a bed of sampled and repeated cymbal hits, mid-frequency washes and western folk influenced acoustic guitar played by nakashima.
the recording was made at a paculiar place: a former "canadian themed" restaraunt (meaning that customers ate with knives and forks instead of chopsticks) turned indian curry house, called, well, "Kanadian." the space is home to many of Osaka's strangest musical experiments, as well performances by ambient artists and garage rockers. once owned by the Boredoms, who still make regular appearances there in various projects, the new owners keep it going with new music and art events.
