STILLS AND REMAINS

Description

Nakagawa’s musical roots lie in the improvisation and noise scenes of the Kansai region in Japan. After performing with electric bass and effects, he transitioned to the cello as a self-taught musician, developing a unique sonic language over more than 15 years. His practice spans composition, performance, and direction, as well as collaborations with dance, theater, and contemporary visual art. As one half of the duo project KAKUHAN (with Koshiro Hino), he has performed at festivals in Japan and internationally. He is also a member of Saraudon, a collaboration with CS + Kreme, releasing work via the UK label Modern Love. This album brings together these diverse practices into a single, focused form: one cello.
