Fill With Empty

The 10th installment of Yasushi Utsunomiya's divine sound 'Utsunomia MIX' series! A first-time duo performance featuring Roger Turner, a veteran British drummer/percussionist, and sara(.es). Three sets of improvised live performances, uncut audio. A record of the rich resonances that took place in the space of artist Hideo Takashima's exhibition 'Filled with Emptiness'! In January 2025, Hideo Takashima's solo exhibition 'Fill witt Empty' was held at Gallery Nomaru, a contemporary art gallery in Osaka. This was Takashima's first exhibition at Nomaru, and featured his first live performance with renowned British drummer/percussionist Roger Turner and sara (.es). The exhibition title, 'Fill witt Empty, ' refers to 'a state filled with emptiness that embraces diverse possibilities,' as Takashima explained. The two musicians, performing together for the first time, stood on either side of Takashima's massive sculpture. The album captures the vivid and vivid image of the two musicians gradually resonating with each other, without any prior arrangement, simply immersed in the space. The two artists felt a connection after just one session, and to commemorate the album's release, Roger & sara will return to Japan from the UK for a record-release concert in January 2026. *Quote from the liner notes of music critic/writer Hosoda Shigetsugu, 'Listening to Faceless Music' By listening to faceless music, we can more deeply experience the complex multifaceted nature that lies deep within the performance - the vivid vitality that is evoked by the very production.
