From http://www.entracte.co.uk/project/hamayoko-e52/:

Noise, music, voices, sound effects, electro-acoustic devices and  eerie sounds… Japanese artiste Yôko Higashi has a wealth of ideas  and musical associations, some of which are manifested in the credit  list alone. Performers as diverse as Violent Onsen Geisha and Chris Corsano have inspired her compositions; Lionel Marchetti, the French  electro-acoustic composer, supplied some feedback noise on one track, and helped Higashi do the final mastering. She is a very able  performer and composer, but on first spin I can’t get much of a  purchase on this meandering work.......A lot of things indeed: dramatic vocalisations amidst field  recordings, a chain of samples that enhance the affecting qualities of  the music, a sense of action-packed consecutiveness perceivable all the way through, a penchant for detecting when enough is enough, a gazillion sounds layered one upon another, absorbing collages that  won’t necessarily secure nerve-shattering to the listener.
