Philip Gayle & Kato Yuko
Moeru Mizu EP
FV7 7"
For New Year's Eve 2000 Houston, Texas acoustic guitarist Philip Gayle and the hopelessly obscure pianist Kato Yuko hooked up for a one time, recording session at Sugarhill Recording Studios. The two battered around a free improv whirlwind of whistles, toys, Korean / Chinese / Japanese food-speak, stringed-things and piano-keys. Recorded live, this three track, near-15 minute mind-fuck of an EP sounds like this duo grew extra body members to rattle, stroke and blow anything within reach. Fed through the studio's spanking new sound board (still hot from the hands of previous owner Todd Rundgren) every bristle of body hair, from head to, is down on tape. Edition of 400 in letter-pressed, silk-screened covers with transparent ink by Kangaroo Press.
Released April 2, 2002
