Unknown Mirrors〜未知の鏡〜
箏とリコーダーというユニークな組み合わせのデュオ。二つの伝統楽器が、オリジナル曲と即興をを通してこれまでに聴いたことのない音世界を紡ぎ出す。彼らのパフォーマンスは時にエネルギッシュで軽快な、時に美しく心地よい音楽を生み出し、その影響は現代音楽、フォーク、インディーポップ、邦楽、そしてバロックと、幅広く及ぶ。新鮮でありながらどこか懐かしい響きである二人の音楽は、同時に楽器の歴史、文化、そして伝統を反映させている。

UNKNOWN MIRRORS is the unexpected combination of koto (Japanese zither) and recorder. The two ancient instruments produce an utterly unique sound world based on original compositions and masterful improvisations. Their performance is sometimes energetic and upbeat, sometimes blissful and embracing, with an array of influences including contemporary classical, folk, alternative pop, traditional Japanese and Baroque. The result is both fresh and familiar to the contemporary ear, whilst reflecting the history, culture and tradition of the instruments.
