Braided Sound Vol. 2 took place in Japan during September 2018 over the course of 6 performances in as man cities and was supported by some fantastic musicians such as Haco, Mayuk0, Moskitoo, Frolicfon, Shinya Sugimoto, Sleepland, Takahiro Kido, Yuki Murata, & too many others to name.
Braided Sound Vol. 1 took place in April 2018 and was orchestrated by Jeremy Young and Jesse Perlstein. For the inaugural round we asked some of our favorite experimental artists in Western Europe (Echo Ho, F.S. Blumm, Midori Hirano, Frank Rosaly, etc.) to tangle with us on stage (or within art installations) in addition to a few who just happened to be in the right place at the right time (Asuna, Sleepland). We managed to record 4 of the 5 sets, one of which (Stijn Huwelʻs session) will be released as a studio album.
