'4 INTERPRETATIONS OF JAPANESE FIELD RECORDINGS' - Killing reworks of field recordings. This project was recorded in Japan, and handed over to Hiroaki OBA, Inoue Shirabe, Tim Karbon and Japan Blues for interpretation. Japan Blues takes a couple of swords and a taiko drum to task, in a dubbed techno-pop hoedown. Tim Karbon makes some Mr Fingers-esque moves, Hiroaki OBA gallops to a dancefloor climax and Inoue Shirabe evokes some fokloric mystique. 300 copies only for the world.

"This record is the result of a twenty-day trip to Japan. Led by anthropologist and label founder Fred Scharf and his Vox Populi Records crew, this is the second installment on the ‘Field Works’ series. This 12’’ vinyl release is a collection of field recordings, jam sessions, studio recordings, street soundscapes, religious rituals, fighting championships and wedding ceremonies, all of which were remixed and reinterpreted by Japan Blues, Tim Karbon, Hiroaki OBA & Shizka (aka Inoue Shirabe), delivering tracks whose core represents a wide array of traditional Japanese sounds."
