ABOUT THE RECORDING

After a lively and rewarding recording session the album is scheduled for release in Autumn 2015, and is currently in production at the wonderful Echo and Cloud Studio in Tokyo. Even on a shoestring budget, the amount of money needed (for instrument transportation, studio rental, engineering, mixing and mastering fees, album design and production costs) has already added up to nearly $4000.
Please consider supporting us as we find our foothold in this constantly changing music business world.
We strongly believe in sharing our unique music with a wider audience through online promotion as well as future performances both at home in Japan and overseas.
Your kind donation would be a huge help to us in taking this first step.

ABOUT NOUON

nouon was originally conceived as a duo with marimba/vibraphonist Azusa Yamada and Kevin McHugh on Fender Rhodes electric piano.
We have since been joined by Junpei Yamamoto (drums) and Huw Lloyd (contrabass clarinet). The unique instrumentation makes for a wonderfully warm sound, and compositions range from entirely written to freely improvised. We'd love to continue promoting this diverse four-person unit with performances wherever genuinely personal music is welcome.
