Well there was an interview with Yoshio Ojima & Satsuki Shibano about the origins of St. GIGA which was interesting - nothing mind blowing - but nice to hear about their philosophy behind the concept and the timing, meant to calm anxieties of the Japanese people at the time, the conceptual programming that was intentionally trying to sync up with the tides and the moon etc.
Then Strugglin' came on, did an interesting musique concrète performance that was very good, followed by Visible Cloaks + Yoshio Ojima & Satsuki Shibano playing their material they collaborated on in 2019 which I actually had not listened to before. They had experimental imagery projected behind them as they played and yes they sounded fantastic. Picked up the LP afterwards and got it signed by Yoshio & Satsuki.
Yeah it was expensive for sure but I felt like I had to go due to the obsession with the archives and my trip coming up in a WEEK.
