Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.

A meditation on how all of us perform — sometimes reinforcing, sometimes subverting — the shifting categories of gender, sexuality and race.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Three speakers play back pre-recorded sounds, Marc listens and responds: “What is played is the imperfect witness of what I listen to (or maybe better, how I listen).”

One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
