Taking inspiration from the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ski kicks off 2010 with an EP of electronic soundscapes centered around his interpretation of the classic 'Thousand Knives'. Featuring the guitar talents of Jeremy Shaw (Naked Funk, Daddy Long Legs), this track first appeared on Sakamoto's 1978 solo album, and was later recorded by his band Yellow Magic Orchestra.
'Sōnen' is a Japanese term meaning 'belief through imagination', where thoughts and image creation are powers that can create reality. The Summer of 2011 will not only see some exciting Ayota live performances, but also the release of the 'Helicopter Cuts' LP on Third Ear Records.
Really looking forward to performing an #Ayota live set at my friend Rei Usui's EP launch party on Sunday 25th June… https://t.co/Oki93r1DFV —
