Here is the fourth published track with Hiroko: Ima no oto 今の音. This one was recorded on an early summer morning/late afternoon. From Hiroko:

Early summer day, it was our 2nd appointment of same timing recording. 
This Japanese title means “the sound of now”.Morning in Maryland, U.S. and late afternoon in Toscana Italy. In these distant places, we recorded the sound of that moment of that day. Field recording of the driving car and bird voice, etc. And acoustic sound of breathing and Russian harp. This track is a meeting of sound of that moment. More we will continue this series !

More to come.

Very excited to publish “Sonotoki, Anotoki”,  our most recent track.

From Hiroko:

One sunny Sunday afternoon, I was standing on the bay just hearing the waves.This day on the summer solstice, we had our first appointment of sound recording at the same timing.At 16pm in Ostuni Italy. At 10am in Maryland US.  We both made the recording of that time. This both sounds meeting will be mixed into new track. The sound of this moment from here and there, crossing over the sea and sky far distance.
