[Machine Translation] The 7th in the series of Yasushi Utsunomiya's divine sound "Utsunomia MIX"! The long-awaited album version has been realized! In May 2023, the experimental music/acoustic project "Utsunomia MIX" was launched by the acoustic genius Yasushi Utsunomiya + Gallery Nomart + .es (dot es). Starting with the simultaneous release of their debut trilogy in May of the same year, five albums were released in six months, and two more in the following year, 2024. This is the first time that the Utsunomia MIX series has been combined with a live project, linked to contemporary art, and featuring a recording/mix/mastering process that is too unique to be found anywhere else. It is a compilation of the sound space of the too-gorgeous live recordings with four musicians who participated in the fourth and fifth albums of the series - sara (.es), Nakatanitatsuya, Otomo Yoshihide, and Isohashi Shinichi, as well as guest appearance by Mikawa Shunji, who participated in the first album. The liner was written by Minoru Shimizu, an art critic and music critic, as well as sara (.es) & Ayako Kanda of "Fujin/Raijin", the 6th in the same series. Location: Gallery Nomart, Nana Kuromiya's solo exhibition " Tama no Utsuwa " at Gallery Nomart.
