Masayoshi Fujita - Book Of Life [CD]

Following on from his acclaimed works Stories and Apologues, Berlinbased composer and vibraphonist Masayoshi Fujita will release his
new album Book of Life, the final instalment in this trilogy of solo
vibraphone recordings, on July 27 via Erased Tapes.

Previously Masayoshi released two albums under his alias El Fog, that
touched on the vibraphone but appeared mostly in a supporting role,
accompanying his intricate electronic production. Much like his
instrument, he has often been a collaborator as opposed to a front man
his sympathetic musicianship complimenting a variety of creative
outputs. Most frequently with the adventurous German producer Jan
Jelinek. Their most recent offering Schaum displays a dialogue
between the two that makes it hard to tell just where Fujitas
vibraphone ends and Jelineks whirring loops begin. Another fruitful
partnership was the experimental Needle Six piece, a BBC Radio 3
recording of an improvised session with UK electronic artist Guy
Andrews for Late Junction. The mesmeric and compelling 30-minute
piece was released for Record Store Day in 2016. In addition his label
peer and fellow Berlin resident Nils Frahm mastered Stories, providing
a fitting symmetry to its re-issue on Erased Tapes now.
