Through the run of five tracks, Noriko blends left-field electronica and Indian classical “CovidWar,” offers springy jazz “Those Days,” gets into a laidback tempo for “Summer Reminiscing” and even performs a short tabla-based India-meets-Japan classical piece called “Tensei Taal: Reincarnation.” The closing title track encompasses all her influences, making for mellow but cerebral electronic music.

These tracks are dedicated to contemporary dance production "WITHIN" which is directed by Ashley Lobo from The Danceworx, and supported by The Japan Foundation 国際交流基金

Artists in Mumbai, Delhi, Goa & Tokyo collaborated through online meetings, rehearsals, and did streaming under lockdown.

Echoes of the East

Fire on Your Tongue🍵🔥 A track "Matcha" that burns with intensity.
A fusion of deep bass, horns, chords, synths, and tabla—blending tradition with the modern edge of hypnotic Drum & Bass.

I’ve been performing this track live on Tabla, and the response has been incredible. Now it’s time to share it with you!

Like a sip of the strongest matcha—bitter, bold, and unforgettable—this track hits hard and lingers long after the last note fades.
