Apologues
“The career of Japanese vibraphonist Masayoshi Fujita seems, at times, to represent a rebuke to the notion of vibraphone as a supporting instrument. On Apologues he's joined by a cast whose massed whorls act as painterly, accommodating foils or accents to Fujita.”
Bird Ambience
“You wouldn’t really expect the strike of a marimba to be unnerving, though any instrument in the hands of the prolific Japanese multi-percussionist Masayoshi Fujita has the potential to be ingeniously warped. The composer has made his name as a master of gently layered, acoustic vibraphone compositions, yet central to his latest release is a distorted, synth-accompanied marimba. Bird Ambience see”
Migratory
“Through tranquil reverberations of vibraphone and shō, the Japanese experimental composer contemplates the restless urges that inspire birds (and humans) to take flight.”
Book of Life
“On his first solo album since his 2016 collaboration with Jan Jelinek, the experimental vibraphonist blurs the edges of his instrument in compositions both abstract and warmly sentimental.”
Apologues
“Masayoshi Fujita’s dream-like recollections keep their shape without gravity keeping them down”
