Description
Tao - Esoteric Red
Masayuki Ishikawa's music straddles an area between Japan, where he was born and raised, and London, where he resides.
"My music isn't East or West, it's in the middle", Tao (aka "Roger") explains. "Sounds are a very important aspect of Japanese culture. Frogs, insects, rain all have rhythms, it's the original freeform".
“Love at first listen...not only powerful, but tells an audio tale of a musical adventure few have had to experience. Futuristic eletronic jazz funk that mentally motivates the senses and resonates the mind. Masayuki Ishikawa is a man who understands the future of electronic music and where it can go”.(XLR8R - USA).

Reviews
"...off-kilter isolationist tribalism and unhinged percussive freeforming... tracks of intricate density which are as mystical as the Orient and as clean as the snow on the top of Mount Fuji" (Muzik)“This collection of fourteen mystical, mysterious, mashed up trip hop downbeats, grungy drum & bass and ambient melodies is not only powerful, but tells an audio tale of a musical adventure few have had to experience. (XLR8R - USA)
“‘Esoteric Red’ is a fusion of two worlds which has rarely been matched. Undoubtedly one of the records of the year”(L’Affiche - France)
