about

To explore and absorb Planet Q, the new record by artists Kyoko Takenaka + Tomoki Sanders, is to become untethered from structural expectations, to reside in a realm where genre vanishes and a profound musical space remains, where the absence of gravity causes curious things to occur.

It’s a spot where handclaps may not move in time, where sonic gurgles of unknown origin offer texture, where a deep, hooky rhythm can propel a groove into the stratosphere.

At various times the tracks move like Dilla pieces, at others like Terry Riley explorations, like Flying Lotus or Milford Graves or Alice Coltrane meditations. But every time you think you’ve got the sound figured out, it hits from another angle. Though a brief missive at 30 minutes, you exit Planet Q as if leaving an utterly alien spot.

Dad (Pharoah Sanders) - Thank you for listening to the tracks, when I got to see you, and spend some time with you, a month before We Out Here ‘22.
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it, and got to meet Kyoko as well.
Rest well, Dad. And I will see you on the other side. - Tomoki Sanders -

To all of you listening and joining our planet. ありがとうございます！
