Otona

الوصف

Formed in 1985, Syzygys was on the cutting-edge of 'microtonal pop music.' Film, TV and game soundtrack composer, Hitomi Shimizu plays a standard acoustic reed organ which she has modified following Harry Partch's 43-microtone scale. Internationally acclaimed violinist Hiromi Nishida plays an instrument subfused with Arabic tonalities derived from her lengthy appreticeship in Cairo with the legendary Egyptian master Abdo Dagher. After a long period of solo performances, they have come together again on this album of purely instrumental organ and violin duets. The 'pop' of the early albums 'distills' into purely spontaneous melodies that both expand and deepen the original musical form called: 'Syzygys.'
