San Francisco Bay Guardian: “Miya Masaoka Trio: Monk’s Japanese Folk Song (Dizim)”
Debut solo album with guests James Newton (flute), and Frank Holder (percussion)
Miya Masaoka (21 string koto)
“New York resident Miya Masaoka is one of a number of Japanese women extending the range of the koto. In her case, that includes working with live bees, giant hissing Madagascar cockroaches, human body sounds and a Philodendron plant. Her solo CD is more focused on wood and strings, but striking for its exquisite touch and feeling for silence.”
