You Who Are Leaving To Nirvana is a mesmerizing collaboration between the renowned Japanese percussionist Midori Takada and the Shomyo monks of Koya-san. Recorded in London and Tokyo, this 2022 release elegantly weaves together powerful Buddhist liturgical chants with Takada’s signature blend of Japanese percussion and marimba, creating a meditative and immersive sonic journey.
This album stands out as a poignant meeting of tradition and innovation, featuring a suite of deeply spiritual compositions and a unique musical creation by Takada herself. Accompanied by insightful liner notes and striking artwork by Portia Zvavahera, You Who Are Leaving To Nirvana offers listeners a rich exploration at the crossroads of experimental sound and sacred ritual.
