I echo the sentiment of my friend and label-mate, Shannon Fields when he asks, “Will one of my Japanese friends please tell me what this is all about and what Jim is doing? Thanks!”
O’Rourke is one of the most consistently interesting and talented composers of the last few decades and it’s inspiring to see the way he’s constantly learning and branching into potentially uncomfortable new creative situations. Check out the fluent Japanese on this guy !
