During the recordings with pianist Masako Ohta and trumpet player Matthias Lindermayr, for what is going to be their follow-up album to 2022's 'MMMMH', we were lucky enough to capture a few solo takes from Masako which will be released in digital format. The Solo EP offers three pieces written by Matthias and a heartfelt rendition of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Hibari. The songs project melancholic calm paired with joyful improvisation and the music rewards the focussed and the absent-minded listener alike.
