Eiko Ishibashi's Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) is a mesmerizing experimental electronic album originally created for the 'Japan Supernatural' exhibition at The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. The two sidelong compositions weave together layered synthesizers, acoustic instrumentation, recited verse, and field recordings in a densely textured yet subtly balanced sonic tapestry.
Drawing from diverse influences ranging from Alvin Curran and David Behrman to traditional Japanese storytelling sounds, Ishibashi creates something uniquely her own while connecting to the subversive literary tradition of Kyoka ('mad poetry'). The album features repeated verses by 15th-century poet Ikkyū Sōjun, blending ancient Japanese poetry with contemporary experimental soundscapes in a haunting exploration of supernatural themes.
