- lethe - kuwayama kiyoharu, who records both under his given name and as lethe, is known for finding intensely resonant
- spaces or charged atmospheres: abandoned warehouses, shinto temples, mausoleums, factories. it is in those kinds of
- extremely resonant spaces that kuwayama has recorded his signature works, the catastrophe point series; full of the
- empty rattle of abandoned industrial space, and the carefully constructed scrape and clang of objects found around
- each location.
- in addition to his lethe music, kuwayama has recorded free improvisation on cello and electronics. he is half of the
- kuwayama-kijima duo, along with violinist rina kijima, and has hosted an annual festival, lethe-voice, in nagoya, japan.
