New Release

Our second album, "... and Water Cycles" will be released soon from
Japan's Preco label.  This will be Preco's third release after the aus

We chose "hydrologic cycle" and "notetaking" as motifs this time.  The
album is a collection of multi-dimensional collage works.
This is MOTORO FAAM's second concept album since 2005.

We participated in "schole compilation vol.1".  This is the first relase
from akira kosemura's schole label.

This compilation contains "Parallels and Infiltrations", an alternate
version of the fifth track "and Infiltrations" from our second album "...
and Water Cycles".

The slight difference in the track title and the sound itself is an
important clue in deciphering the "Hidden Concept" of the second album.

MOTORO FAAM's second album is almost complete.
It is a very beautiful album, on the line of our first album, "Fragments"

We are also working on a stage piece with the contemporary dancer KaoRi.


 

Today was the first day of production.
This will be a unique piece in that the "production" itself will affect the concept of the work.

We can't give you the details yet, but the performance is scheduled for this spring.
Please look forward to it!
