'Wavefront Aberrations' is a new work in 2019 by Masaya Kato. This work is an album approaching material minimalism thorough embodiment represented by the act of playing instruments and also mainly composed of improvisation based on extended techniques of the piano and drone by playing of the Fender Rhodes in tonality and improvisation.
These two abstract but independent waves are expected to be weaved in each composition to continue to undergo changes into other ripples in attenuation all tones have.
