After a long submission and deliberation process, the second volume of Summer Tour Remixes is now available, for completely free download, on the Anticipate site.


http://www.anticipaterecordings.com/media/audio/summertour_remix_2/index.php

As with Summer Tour Remixes Volume 1, Volume 2 uses Sawako's field recordings, from her Summer 2007 tour of Europe and Japan, as source material for new works which jump off from those origins into a number of divergent, but complementary directions. Volume 2 was an open call submission process, which elicited some excellent material, and subsequently made it difficult to narrow it down into this lean eight track compilation with versions from:

Alexander Wendt (12x50)
Billy Gomberg (mOAR, Install)
The Green Kingdom (SEM, The Land Of)
Ieva (AMBOLTHUE)
Marihiko Hara (mOAR, Leerraum, U-cover, Zymogen, Rimacona-Lab)
Thomas Hildebrand (Microcosm)
Tim Prebble
Tomasz Bednarczyk (Room 40)

.

the departure from "a last next" arrives to "hi bi no ne" (= means "dairy sound" in Japanese),

.

the collaborative CD with Daisuke Miyatani. mastered by Taylor Deupree.

.

i am singing more, and some tracks are the indie DIY cute toy style.

.

you can listen some of excerpts in schole's mySpace page.

.

it's the limited release CD format only. (no digital release.) special paper format.

.

in Japan, you can buy the CD in Tower Record, HMV, Tsutaya etc.

.

outside Japan, check the label site or sawako's petite shop

i got the news that the label/main distributer (Anticipate/KOMPAKT)
has
no more stock of my 3rd album "Madoromi."
.
.
hurry up to get the CD (it's come with the special poster jacket !)
like all of my previous releases, it will not be available as physical format soon.
.
.
i am surprised the fact that "madoromi" sold out quicker than "hum"
especially now many people are mumbling how difficult to sell physical CD . . . !

have a nice bubble summer,
sawako

ps.
for those who are waiting the result of Summer Tour Remix Vol2
it will be release sometime soon. we were asking to make one track shorter.
coming soon . . .
