Von Spar/Eiko Ishibashi/Joe Talia/Tatsuhisa Yamamoto :: Album I & II

The context one can draw between the seven musicians involved in this project is a universe of interloping histories. Percussionists Tatsuhisa Yamamoto and Joe Talia have been involved with a handful of impromptu improvisational groups, sometimes including players like Ned Collette, Senyawa, and Akira Sakata, while both have notched a solo album for the ever-expanding Black Truffle catalog. German kraut four-piece Von Spar have penned over ten albums with a league of guest contributors including R. Stevie Moore, Laetitia Sadier, and Stephen Malkmus who they released an entire Ege Bamyasi cover album a decade ago.
