Artist:	M, SACHIKO
Title:	1:2
Label:	A BRUIT SECRET (FRANCE)
Format:	3" CD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	ABS 009CD

"Sachiko M plays a No-sampler (with sine-waves) as her unique instrument, thus creating her own abruitsecret. In the after of sampling, diverting her digital sampler from its specific use, erasing all memories, voiding it from all samples that could be taken from our record collections or cultural databanks, she listens to the internal sound of the machine, designing the sound in a both abstract and radical approach. She wants her music to have no memory, she claims no influence, forms are taken as ephemeral proposals, she draws an aesthetics of disappearance from her sine-waves. Sachiko M has played in Ground Zero, before taking part of the Filament (with Yoshihide Otomo), ISO (with Otomo and Yoshimitsu Ichiraku) and Cosmos projects (with Ami Yoshida). She plays improv with Toshimaru Nakamura, Taku Sugimoto, Andrea Neumann, Kaffe Matthews and John Tilbury, and many more."

Title:	Salon de Sachiko
Label:	HITORRI (JAPAN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	HITORRI 111CD

"Since the late '90s Sachiko M has been stirring up the improvised music scenes in Japan and the West, and gaining an enthusiastic following with her unique sound, consisting entirely of sine waves. This is Sachiko M's first solo album since Bar Sachiko (Improvised Music from Japan, IMJ517), released three and a half years ago. Bar Sachiko was a work made up exclusively of sustained sine wave tones. In contrast, Salon de Sachiko is comprised throughout of short, very thin beeps -- sometimes rhythmic, sometimes interspersed with longish silences -- sent out from two oscillators, much like sparks thrown off by sparklers near one's left and right ears. The album's one track, which is exactly an hour long, was recorded in July 2007."
