Premeditation

by Yoshio Machida & Cal Lyall

about

Available as double 10" gatefold vinyl with 8-page photographic booklet and/or digital album at bythebluestofseas.bandcamp.com/album/premeditation

"The peculiar thing is that the terrain of the music – the sounds and melodies of the two instruments – do not on the surface listen vary that much, and yet the listener feels as though they have travelled an expanse within it. Much like meditation, where focusing on the process of mind itself can reveal greater depths than the most extravagant thoughts, the album explores the absolute depths of the instruments and modes of music Lyall and Machida are operating in."
- William Patrick Owen, Folk Radio UK/KLOF Magazine
