Unadorned\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the 10 tracks on the record, Watanabe places the vibrant timbres of traditional Japanese instruments (shinobue and ryuteki flutes, taiko drums, narimono percussion instruments, and koto, a 13-string zither) in compositions and jazz improvisations. These traditional instruments are contrasted by the many layers of acoustic and electronic instruments - piano, synthesizers, tenor saxophone, soprano and alto flutes, and harp, all played by Watanabe - which he uses to create a unique and shifting soundworld, never quite settling in one place or time but buoyed by his singular artistic vision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58327808639359,"sku":"NWAM211LP","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/1b9b6c412cc1471690bcb1e4ebaf5ff1.jpg?v=1788253970","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/kaoru-watanabe-the-arch-vinyl-lp-due-out-25-09-26","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
