An ambient EP by drummer Shin Kokawa and Momose Yasunaga, a modular synthesizer player and singer. Across three tracks, Shin Kokawa's drums dissolve into the nostalgic melodies and experimental textures woven by Momose's mellow voice and modular synth. Momose works worldwide, touring Europe through Finland and Berlin and appearing at Beijing's Modular Commune in 2024, followed by a tour of Denmark in 2025. The 10th release in Shin Kokawa's "13-week consecutive release" project.
In his pursuit of live drum expression, improvisational artist SHIN KOKAWA resonates with Japanese spirituality, including indigenous nature worship and the sublime concepts of Zen. He internalizes a diverse range of genres: free jazz, spiritual jazz, world music, ambient, and hardcore. By infusing the primitive, powerful, and beautiful sounds of his instruments with the raw intuition of the moment, he creates soundscapes that depict the vastness of the universe. Making his major debut as a founding member of the instrumental band jizue (founded in 2006), Kokawa has performed at numerous large-scale festivals in Japan and abroad, including the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL. Since embarking on a solo career in 2019, he has released his 1st album 'ANIMA' (2020) and a 2nd album 'touch the sub conscious' (2024), which features collaborations with renowned artists such as Seiichi Yamamoto, Shing02, and Shun Ishiwaka. He is also an active member of the Kyoto-based experimental band kott, with whom he performed at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2023. In 2026, he launched '13 ARTIST X 3 WORKS,' an ambitious project featuring collaborations with 13 different artists and 39 tracks to be released consecutively every week.
Modular synthesizer player and voice artist. Incorporating voice, spoken word, and instruments into the modular synthesizer, Momose explores the boundary between dream and everyday life, where abstract and concrete sounds interweave. The work is characterized by an ambient sound that fuses nostalgic melodies with experimental textures. In 2024, Momose embarked on a European tour through Finland and Berlin and took part in the Beijing Modular Commune; in 2025, a tour of Denmark.
