The ultimate improvised ambient work, which is recorded by 12 users of "Yamato Kogen Taiyo no Ie", a support facility for people with disabilities in Yamazoe-mura, Nara Prefecture, playing the monophonic percussion instrument "Quire Chime", was released on CD from JUZU a.k.a. MOOCHY's CROSSPOINT in 2022, and was vinylized this year as a triple name release from CROSSPOINT, Chee Shimizu's 17853 Records, and TUFF VINYL. Wa No Wa" was released on vinyl this year as a triple name release by CROSSPOINT, Chee Shimizu's 17853 Records, and TUFF VINYL, and has been remixed and reworked with dub arrangements.
Side X is "MEISOU DUB" by Naoyuki Uchida, one of the best dub masters in Japan. Side Y includes "TAIDOU RMX," which has been reborn as a tech bass tune, and a version featuring Okinawa's leading rapper RITTO. RITTO's dope message and Kyoto-based British trumpeter Christopher Fryman's performance intertwine to create a deep groove that CPS (SINKICHI & J.A.K.A.M.) has crafted into a highly addictive tune.
The ethereal and mysterious sound of the original is incorporated into a dance music format, making it a DJ-friendly yet slow-moving piece of music to be savored.
奈良県山添村の障がい者支援施設『大和高原 太陽の家』の利用者12名による、単音打楽器<クワイヤーチャイム>の演奏を収録した究極の即興アンビエント作品で2022年にJUZU a.k.a. MOOCHY主宰CROSSPOINTからCDリリース、そして今年CROSSPOINT、Chee Shimizu主宰17853 Records、TUFF VINYLのトリプル・ネーム・リリースでバイナル化され話題となった『Wa No Wa』をリミックス&ダブ・アレンジで再構築。
SideXは日本屈指のダブ・マスターこと内田直之による"MEISOU DUB"。『Wa No Wa』自体の一音一音、無作為に奏でられた瑞々しく透明な音色が巨匠・内田直之によってベースの効いた壮大なダブ・チューンに。Side Yにはテックベース・チューンに生まれ変わった"TAIDOU RMX"、更に沖縄を代表するラッパーRITTOをフィーチャーしたバージョンも収録。RITTOのドープなメッセージと、京都在住の英国人トランペッター、クリストファー・フライマンの演奏が絡み合うディープなグルーヴをCPS(SINKICHI & J.A.K.A.M.)が仕上げた中毒性の高い一曲。
オリジナルの幽玄で神秘的なサウンドをダンス・ミュージックのフォーマットに落とし込み、DJフレンドリーでありながらも楽曲としてじっくり味わえる作品に。

Perfect meditative ambience. Great for a rainy day, taking a relaxing nighttime bath, or just placing yourself in 16th century Japan in some gnarled forest by the river. Thou!MirrorWitch
