Ustad Asad Ali Khan Sahib

I encountered the following video on the blog of Sunn O))) member Stephen O'Malley. I'm enthusiastic but not very knowledgeable when it comes to Indian classical music, I find the drones and textures compelling. Anyway, this video caught my attention this morning and I thought I'd share it.

Japan : Waiting in the Veloce coffee shop, Kyoto Station

The day of our return to Tokyo we got to Kyoto Station quite early. To kill time we went for a coffee in Caffe Veloce. My girlfriend wanted to do some last minute gift buying in one of the shopping centres in the station complex so I took the opportunity to record the hustle and bustle of the busy cafe.

Japan : Waiting for the Shinkansen, Kyoto Station

This speaks for itself really. The Shinkansen trains are fantastic and I couldn't resist making some recordings from the Kyoto Station platform while we were waiting to jump on. Recorded on 27 March 2009.

Japan : Tokyo Metro

During our stay in Tokyo we used the underground train a lot to get around. Unfortunately I didn't take note of the route we were taking while I made this recording. I'm sure it could be deduced from the train intercom that notified passengers of the journey progress.
