AYAMI SUZUKI + MEGABASSE
Ayami Suzuki is a Tokyo-based musician, artist and improviser. Her practice revolves around creating ambient soundscapes that incorporate her folk influences in a synthesis of songwriting and improvisation. Since returning to Tokyo in 2019 after several years of studies in Ireland and the UK, she has become an active performer, collaborator and solo artist. Her recent releases for Lontano Series, Healing Sound Propagandist, Ftarri and Cosima Pitz showcase her singular approach to vocal ambient music, often fusing her ethereal vocals with environmental sounds in a way that feels formless, immersive and expansive all at once.

Megabasse is French born, Brussels based Pierre Bujeau’s solo guitar project exploring alternative tuning and long form composition through the use of a double neck twelve and six string guitar. Granted by his friend who had the instrument lying in his parents’ attic for years, Pierre uses the guitar in an unorthodox manner, strumming both sets of strings simultaneously as if playing a harp, while also forming chords with unique resonances due to his precise alternative tunings. The result is a light fog of extremely melodic and hypnotic drone music, reminiscent of the tuning and durational experiments of La Monte Young and the physicality of guitar exploration of Pierre Jean Croset, though in his case always keeping to his main interest of melody. The music becomes almost sculptural, its existence seeming almost void of time, with the start and end of each performance being a matter of practicality more than of compositional intention. After a few releases of recordings of concerts, Megabasse released his debut album ‘Discorde’ in 2024, a two part documentation of such melodic structures and experiments.
