An album released in 1981 featuring works for keyboard instruments by two Japanese composers, Yoriaki Matsudairaand Mamoru Fujieda, issued on Kojima Recordings’ ALM Records label. Performed by pianist Akemi Satomi. The two pieces on Side A, composed by Matsudaira, are striking and highly distinctive examples of minimal music: A1 is a multitrack composition for three electric pianos and a clavinet, each tuned a third of a tone apart; A2 is a solo piano piece dedicated to Satomi and her husband Kiyoshi, constructed as a sound-texture work using their names translated into Morse code. The two works on Side B, by Fujieda, are both written for prepared piano.
A1: Yoriaki Matsudaira “Erixatone”
A2: Yoriaki Matsudaira “Celebration”
