Inspired by Georg Trakl's "Nocturnal Song" and recorded in separate locations during lockdown 2021. The Japanese free music players Harutaka Mochizuki and Makoto Kawashima excite with their haunting play in the spirit of Kaoru Abe -- beautiful and sad and violent at the same time. The French lap steel guitarist Michel Henritzi mixes the pieces together, they float naturally into a melancholic but vibrant sound poem, evocating their ghosts, their desires, and feeling the mood of Trakl's poem, the dread of lonesome dark nights. Mixed by Kevin Le Quellec, in Metz, 2021. Mastered by Martin Siewert, in Vienna, 2022. Calligraphy by Fuji Yuki, artwork by Michel Henritzi. Personnel: Makoto Kawashima - alto saxophone; Harutaka Mochizuki - alto saxophone; Michel Henritzi - lap steel, guitar feedback.
