Omoidasu by Mike Vernusky

A years-long collaboration with a variety of Japanese artists including Tetuzi Akiyama, Yoshio Machida, Yumi Kurosawa, Wynn Yamami, and Mayu Iwasaki. The album cover was created by cameraless photographer Shimpei Takeda.
The narrative of the music follows the story of Roshomon, but with a 21st Century slant to it.

Creating music for live performance, radiophonic sound, and audiovisual experiences, Vernusky's music is described as “brash” by The New York Times, “isolationist” by The Wire, and “especially otherworldly” by New Music USA.
