I am a grateful guest on claire rousay's new single "just (feat. m. sage)"

This whole album -- a little death -- is wonderful and I am very flattered to have made some piano and clarinet and a bell ding.

New track from Nobukazu Takemura is now streaming!!
"an ephemeral radiant" is touching and bittersweet, beautifully surprising in its voices and their melodic movements.
Listen via streaming services, Bandcamp, & the Thrill Jockey website.
