***You-On is a collaboration between Masami Tomihisa and Jim White.Three sessions, all improvised consisting of keyboard and drums were recorded at Jim’s in April and May of 2024. Guy Picciotto mixed, edited and sequenced the recordings comprising ‘New Side’, the duo’s first album together.You-On is two Japanese characters put together, asobu which means to play or to have fun andon which means sound.‘New Side’ is a work of precise, at times otherworldly beauty. The interplay between Tomihisa and White is nothing short of uncanny—it seems hard to believe these are the results of their first recordings together.Masami Tomihisa is a pianist, composer and improviser based in New York City. Prior to this, her most recent release was the ‘Invitations’ cassette released by Purplish in 2024.Environmental concerns prevent us from publishing drummer Jim White’s entire associated discography ; his most recent solo album, his second such LP for Drag City, ‘Inner Day’ was released in the Autumn of 2025.
LP $25.95
