OJP088 : Takao Kurokawa / Resolution and Pursuance

This album documents an entirely improvised live performance from May 2025.

Takao San says:
"For this performance, I mainly played Buchla synthesizers: a compact 200e system together with a LEM218 keyboard. Although the music is firmly rooted in electronic sound, I also felt in it something of the character of straight-ahead jazz, which is part of my own musical background.

The title 'Resolution and Pursuance' borrows the names of two movements from a well-known jazz album. It seemed appropriate both for that underlying jazz sensibility and for the overall trajectory of the performance, which gradually moves from resolution toward dispersion and divergence."

Recorded live at Fourth Floor II, Koenji, Tokyo, on May 23, 2025.
