Le Guess Who?

Midori Takada

When her 1983 album Through The Looking Glass was reissued last year by WRWTFWW/Palto Flats, Japanese composer Midori Takada received a new surge of recognition. Takada has remained very productive throughout her decade-spanning career, immersing in African tribe spirituals, classical music and minimalist greats like Steve Reich and Terry Riley. In her hands, any percussive object or piece of recording equipment becomes a totem of fine art, architecture, nature and minimal dance.
