Kyoto skies

[imomus]

Eating a "white meal" of different textures and flavours of tofu in Kyoto with Midori Hirano, Ellie joopy, Japanese electronica artist Baiyon and his girlfriend (who were kind enough to put me up, arigato!), Hypo and his girlfriend -- on holiday, essentially, but DJing tonight in Tokyo at Highti. Oh, and his new album of inedits et raretees, Deluxe Edition, begins with an otherwise-unreleased Momus a cappella song called "Mount Fuji Fruit Collective". (This "lost operetta" was inspired by the murals inside the tower on top of Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. A rough version of it, with music, is here.)

Also, as you can see, the sky was lowering and aswirl, with fluorescent perma-flicker lightning.

In Kyoto with Midori Hirano and Sky!

Kyoto seems to be more laid back.
Checked out myspace Hirano tunes.
Very crayola ,polka dot, whimsy...
The sky looks volcanic.
Is there a rainy season?

The rainy season is forecast to begin this weekend, though it's cleared up in Kansai after the humid, sensual storm of last night and this morning.

Midori told me she's working on new material which sounds not unlike my favourite track off o.lamm's "Monolith" album, "Silviphobia". Funny thing is, o.lamm told me the same thing -- that his new stuff sounds like that (atypical) track! So Olivier and Midori might currently be making the same album, completely independently!

if this is so, sounds like o.lamm and midori are independently making my two favorite albums of the year!
