Collaborating with Genuine People
The second major debut release, “Akatsuki,” set to be released on Wednesday, November 27, features Hisako Tabuchi and Takehisa Gomi, truly an unbeatable combination of guitar and bass, right?
Zu: There are many players I think are great, but there’s hardly anyone I truly want to collaborate with. So, it was incredibly exciting when we found two people we both wanted to work with. It feels like a dream.
What’s the standard for deciding whether or not you can work with someone?
Zu: Hmm, it’s hard to put into words, but it might be the sense of being alternative.
Suzuki: It might be not being superficial. I trust people who use their heads.
Zu: It’s the feeling you get when you talk to them directly. The recording session went so smoothly. Even though I only had abstract ideas to convey, it was settled in one take.
