''The power of sound to evoke has always been immense and always been with us".
Japanese Shamanism, with it's roots in the ancient past, has always placed special import on the ritual use of music - the beating of drums, the twanging of a bow made of catalpa wood and ritual chanting - a particular array of sounds, song and dance with the power to evoke curiosity in the spirit world, to cause spirits to breach the impenetrable barrier separating their world from ours.

Catalpa, with it's ability to strike and be struck, to be strummed as a bow and for it's delicate horn shaped flowers seemed a fitting symbol for our project.''- Gus Till & Chika Asamoto.
Chika Asamoto- Soprano Sax, Gus Till- Keyboards/ Programming, also featuring Bjorn Charles Dreyer- Pedal Steel and Koto Guiatrs, Kenneth Ekornes- Percussion, Joe Creighton- Bass
