Posuposu Otani
Throat singer with open-tuned guitar and Kohkin
Based in Kanagawa, Japan
FolkExperimental electronicAmbient
Open-tuned guitar lines sit under throat singing and Kohkin (Jew’s harp), with long overtones and a loose, fluid pulse. The set is likely to lean acoustic and intimate, with drone-like sustain, quiet rhythmic shifts, and a lot of attention on timbre.
More about Posuposu Otani
