In 2007 Tzadik published the second and third series of Teiji Ito's original recordings (the first was "King Ubu" in 1998) : "Tenno" and “Music For Maya”.
This last one was a collection of music created for films and pieces written by Maya Deren.
You can read something about that here.
After less than a year this label consigns us other similar material taken from archives of this Japanese composer (died in 1982) whose name is often associated to Maya Deren’s cinema (because of his film scores) and life (he married her in 1950).
This CD contains recordings of two compositions inspired by Ito’s spiritual experience and learning acquired during his life.
Performed using a lot of different instruments of Japanese tradition (Shamisen, Shakuhachi, Hichiriki etc.) or belonging to other musical cultures (Maracas, Marimbula, Cuica) as well as some homemade ones, the whole combined with electronics, “The shamanic principles” confirms the vocation of this artist to create a personal style where world music, electronics, avant-garde can live together.
Music as a way to pursue spirituality.
