CXBXT .After

CXBXT is a new collaborative project consisting of Japanese singer, songwriter, and filmmaker Tujiko Noriko, musician and composer Adrian Corker, and percussionist George Barton. Stepping into the studio for the first time together last summer in London, the emerging six tracks that form new album '.After,' were recorded in a day and a half with some material later overdubbed. Primarily recorded live with multiple mics and chains of effects by Ben Locket, the improvised music came out of instruments which were already in the studio including piano, percussion, various synths and also instruments brought in, including shakuhachi, melodica, bass, guitar and sounds recorded on and played off acetates. Corker and Tujiko originally recorded as a duo and Barton later added tuned percussion, drums and musical saw. Corker further added fields recordings made with sound recordist Chris Watson.
