Kyu
Live in
Tokyo [No Label 1CD]
Live
at Doors, Hatsudai, Tokyo, Japan, Feb 11, 2005
The Kyu duo only
performed live and have never recorded before. As such, this is also our
first and only recording. We searched the net for more info.
From Wikipedia:
Michiyo Yagi,
a Japanese musician, studied koto under the late Tadao Sawai, Kazue Sawai
and Satomi Kurauchi, and graduated from the NHK Professional Training
School for Traditional Musicians. Between 1989 and 1990 she was Visiting
Professor of Music at Wesleyan University in
Connecticut, U.S.A. During her tenure she premiered numerous modern compositions
for koto and came under the influence of maverick American composers such
as John Cage, Conlon Nancarrow, and John Zorn. Her solo koto CD Shizuku
was produced by Zorn and released on the Tzadik label in 1999. In 2001
she recorded "Yural" with her koto ensemble Paulownia Crush for the East
Works label. Under the auspices of the Japan Foundation, Yagi toured Russia
with this koto ensemble in
the fall of 2004.
An eclectic performer,
Yagi has made frequent appearances on Japanese TV and has performed at
the Moers Jazz, International Festival Musique Actuelle Victoriaville,
Archipel, Bang on a Can, Tokyo
Summer, and Vision
Festivals. Yagi's koto has been featured in ex-Judy & Mary guitarist/singer
Takuya's rock band, and she has recorded and performed with Ayumi Hamasaki,
Japan's best-selling pop singer.
She is a founding
member of Kokoo, a trio which performs originals and progressive rock
covers exclusively on traditional Japanese instruments, and also performs
and tours with the "avant pop girl group"
Hoahio. More recently Yagi formed Kyu, a self-described "punk-noise-ambient-bondage
duo," with bassist/singer Kirilola of Ex-Girl, and Trance Koto Express
in collaboration with sound engineer and DJ Shigetake Ao.
As an improviser
Yagi has performed with Mark Dresser, John Zorn, Peter Brötzmann,
Elliott Sharp, Han Bennink, Kazuhisa Uchihashi (Altered States), Natsuki
Kido (Bondage Fruit), Fred Frith, Chris Cutler,
Otomo Yoshihide, Saadet Turkoz, Ned Rothenberg, Hoppy Kamiyama, Samm Bennett,
Yuji Katsui (Rovo), Lauren Newton, Hans Reichel, Sabu Toyozumi, Mino Cinelu,
Satoko Fujii, Joëlle Léandre, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), Bill
Laswell, Kazutoki Umezu, Carl Stone, Kang Tae Hwan, Christian Marclay,
Koichi Makigami, Zeena Parkins, Masahiko Sato, Billy Bang, Keiji Haino,
Jason Roebke, Sachiko M, Ingebrigt Flaten, Paal Nilssen-Love, and many
others.
Yagi's latest album
"Seventeen" (Zipangu), entirely recorded on the giant 17-string bass koto,
was released in October 2005. Forthcoming CD releases include a live recording
with Flaten and Nilssen-Love, a studio session with Dresser and Rothenberg,
and a duo with Elliott Sharp.

Kirilola is
well known as a member of the all-girl avant group eX-Girl from Japan.
The band was founded in 1997 and have performed overseas in Europe and
America. They are notorious for a psychedelic wardrobe that includes pink

This fantastic audience
recording was brought to you by taper Mr Grumpy.
