Seijiro Murayama is a drummer/percussionist and improviser/composer living in Paris. Since around 2017 he's focused on creating electro-acoustic works using recordings of his own improvisations. The results of these efforts have been released as two highly praised solo albums from the Hitorri label: Downdate (hitorri-986, 2017) and The Empire of Slip of the Tongue (hitorri-984, 2018). In an about-face from these earlier releases, his new album, Mi-tai, consists of eight improvisational performances on percussion. It's as if Murayama were returning to his point of origin with this release.

Here's a rundown of the instruments and recording locations of the eight tracks.

Tracks 1-3: 10-inch snare drum, mallets, brushes. Track 2 includes Murayama's vocal accompaniment. Recorded at a private home in Mishima city, Japan.

Track 4: Two semicircular steel tables that were not made as musical instruments (the two tables form a complete circle). Recorded during a residency at an art museum in France, in the museum's library.
Track 5: 14-inch snare drum without snare wires. Recorded at a theatre in France during a practice break.
Tracks 6-8: Gong of unknown origin (6), 10-inch snare drum (7, 8). Recorded in a practice room outside Paris.

Mi-tai is the first of two albums in which Murayama attempts to give a comprehensive account of his improvisation on percussion and drum set--his "principal occupation," so to speak--in this moment in time. This is a chance to experience the amazing creativity that sets Murayama apart from other percussionists/drummers.
