Music Now For Harp is a groundbreaking album from acclaimed harpist Ayako Shinozaki, first released in 1974 and now beautifully reissued by Wewantsounds. Merging the delicate resonance of the harp with innovative electronic and jazz influences, the album features mesmerizing works by renowned composers Toru Takemitsu and Katsuhiro Tsubono. The recording transports listeners to the frontier of experimental sound, captured at Nippon Columbia’s legendary Studio No.2 in 1973.
This newly remastered release stands out with its stunning original artwork by iconic designer Kohei Sugiura and includes a booklet with fresh insights from Alan Cummings. At the heart of the album is the ethereal, expansive “Heterodyne,” a 25-minute ambient journey featuring cult musician Takehisa Kosugi on electric violin and electronic sound waves, weaving an immersive dialogue with Shinozaki’s harp. This is a vital piece for those drawn to avant-garde, jazz, and electronic explorations.
