24th December – The Cap Report
The Minister of Caps presents a new work centered around a selection of field recordings collected in Japan during September and October 2013.
In addition to the field recordings are the sounds of the Otamatone, a Japanese instrument he purchased in Japan, as well as the Korg Monotron Duo, a Japanese instrument he did not purchase in Japan. All recordings taken in a variety of arcades, pachinko parlours, trains and temples in Japan (and one park in New York City):
