Hiroki Tanaka - Bare Hallways

Best known for his work with Yamantaka//Sonic Titan, Hiroki Tanaka takes a deeply personal turn on this new project, inspired by his time as a caretaker for his grandmother and uncle. Mixing interview snippets with his grandmother alongside a collage of evocative field recordings from her house, these pieces unpack the transition of lived experience slipping into memory, placeness, and finding dignity in the times when bodies are engaged in acts of slow betrayal.

* Thanks to Kiroki for passing along the title to this one!
