Chashitsu: Auditory Tea Room is the first album release to feature Midori Komachi's work as a composer.
Inspired by the sonic journey of Chashitsu (Japanese Tea Room) and Chado (The Way of Tea), this album showcases Komachi's weaving together original compositions with field recordings by Nick
Luscombe (MSCTY).
Conceived and produced by Komachi in collaboration with London and Tokyo based MSCTY, known for their work at the forefront of
music and architecture, the project reflects her unique approach to sound, place, and narrative, offering listeners a unique auditory experience.
"a brilliant new collaboration, between the violinist Midori Komachi and sound recordist Nick Luscombe...it's an exploration of sonic architecture between Tokyo and London" - BBC Radio 3
"an instantly endearing release...Komachi’s playing, slow and sincere, appreciative of each elongated tone."
