Sound of Turning Earth

Deluxe gatefold CD with fold out poster & 3 double sided art cards featuring Kurachi’s illustrations
Recorded by Jim O’Rourke at his home studio, Sound of Turning Earth is Kurachi solo on vocals and guitar, mixing surreal lyrics and theatrical vocal personas with unorthodox tunings inspired by Japan’s national instrument, the koto. A strangely brewed but fresh Japanese prog folk record
Kurachi has been playing music since the 80’s, so is well known in Japan and has collaborated with Taku Unami and Tatsuhisa Yamamoto. He has played with Tenniscoats, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Katsura Yamauchi, Tori Kudo, Jim O’Rourke and Eiko Ishibashi
