Plaster coated Walls. Used furniture. The air of the quiet city... She lives in an old house. The cats are gathering to welcome her home in the small nice garden. Music is born in daily life like everyday cooking. Instruments like accordion, toy piano, step organ plays warm notes as if they were relieved by her pure and tender voices.
Guests like Cinq(Noble) and Joseph Nothing(Romz) were invited to this "home" to add electronic treatments to her pure & nostalgic sounds, field recordings that inspires squeaking chairs and light sunshine. And together, it brings this tender and colorful album. This is her loving "home". When you feel the tender atmosphere and the time lying over, it will take away your tension so easily from the first meeting and would make you want to set yourself free in this peaceful surroundings.

"Epitaph" is the follow-up to Kazumasa Hashimoto's first album "Yupi" which was released to critical acclaim in Spring 2003.
Using the piano as the centerpiece as well as wind and string instruments, Hashimoto blends his ensemble of acoustic instruments with sine waves, glitch noises, and electronics to create a lush and refreshing world of sound.
While incorporating elements from minimalist composers as well as electroacoustic music and electronica, Hashimoto's music has a universal and timeless appeal to it.
The rich tones of the acoustic instruments, the beautiful harmonies, the skillfull arrangements, and the multitude of musical elements blended into the background of the songs makes for a listening experience that is always invigorating.
This real-life soundtrack is sure to pluck gently at the heartstring of all listeners.

"mas" is organized with "Tatsuya Yamada" as a leader. Now they are mainly consisted of Bass, trunpet, drums, sax, kokyu (chinese traditional instrument) and the computer After so many lives and sessions, and sometimes introducing more instruments or human-voice etc. And at last they have made this terrific work "turn" as thier first album.
These 10 songs on this album appeares so many kind of expressoins like one striked out by beats, or another of comfortable ensemble of live sounds... electronic, inprovised and emotional, All the sound materials are resonant with each other naturally. The emotional sound-visuals wove from the supersized live-atmosphere and the minute edit works rushes through all around the songs in this album flexibly.
In #2, the heavy sound-waves of electronic sounds and live instruments turns themself into a billow. The dub bass and the lilting rhythms dance on #3. And #7, reconstructed by "Miroque" (a Japanese female artist in 360° records) is calm but call an mysterious scene. #8 "turn", a title song of this album, is a romantic story of about 20 minutes and impresses us they are really "live bands" by the sounds defenitely . And #9 joined in by "Tujiko Noriko" shakes the deep inside feelings of us severely, and flow to the epilogue mildly.

TRACK 3 is a aesthetic electric song featured cello. and TRACK 5 is a rising song made by the mix of pastoral melody like children's song and noisy particle. TRACK 6 is a song of the division sound made from the dash of violent rhythm, discord, and stoic melody. And TRACK 10 is a song of dynamism of Rock cooked by the recipe of electronica. Melodies sung with mysterious words are spreaded over the whole and create new surrealisic sence.
