現代三味線デュオ Contemporary Shamisen Duo
In this duo with Saito Ryota, we explore new possibilities in sound-making on the shamisen. Our research has given us a steadily growing repertoire of noises,
emphasising extended technique and crossing the notion of "tradition". Our aim is to transport the shamisen into the 21 century chamber music context.
