Description:

This is the second solo album by Ryoko Konno. It consists of pieces that explore the boundaries of both improvisation and composition, and was recorded and mixed entirely by Ryoko Kono herself, with Taro Tatsumaki on drums, who spent two and a half years multi-recording her saxophone. The number of tracks created by this meticulous and delicate work exceeded 2,000, with 99 tracks being set as the limit of the number of tracks that could be physically pressed on a CD disc. The order of the tracks is an important factor in determining the overall impression of the album, and of course we want the listener to listen to the album in the order of the tracks on the disc, but for this album, we also dared to "leave the order of the tracks to the listener (and his/her environment)". The 99 songs on the album seem unrelated, but in fact they are connected. By shuffling the songs, we aim to create the effect that no one will ever hear the same composition twice, and to create the illusion that the time between pressing the play and stop buttons is the total recording time for the listener. We hope you will experience the change in composition and impression each time you listen to it.
