"From the wilderness to scrolling towards something
An unconscious field of vision before the focus sharpens
Casual walls, pipes, things without meaning"
The sound of two metals touching and sliding: an unplugged metal resonator guitar and a metal bottleneck. Overlaid with Teraya's guitar drones, two quiet improvisational pieces.
SAWARI ON is a solo musician who builds songs through a hybrid process of live instrumental performance and computer-based sound design. She records acoustic guitar and organ as primary sound sources, combining them with digital processing to construct complete productions. Working in Logic Pro, she handles composition, performance, recording, sound design, and mixing in a fully self-contained workflow. Her signature approach integrates distortions inspired by phonographs and tape machines into melodic structures where time subtly slips. By avoiding predictable progressions and leaving traces of instability inside the arrangement, she creates songs in which nostalgia and unease quietly coexist. In live settings, she performs improvisational sets using microKORG and multiple effects processors. She regularly engages in real-time collaborative performances with other artists in Tokyo experimental music events.
