Travel Notes [Japan Tour 2024 – Manuel Bienvenu Group]
In Japan, 3+3=5. In the end of february 2024, Manuel Bienvenu had his two trios, Japanese and French, join forces to tour Japan. They were joined in Tokyo by Tomoko Yoshino, mmm as well as guests Kaori Takeda and Naohisa Taniguchi.
The stated goal of this movie is to offer a form of proximity with the protagonists of the tour without feeling the need to break into their bathroom or share their hangovers.
The sound at 440/FOUR FOURTY was recorded from the the console stereo out, sound by Seki san.
Other sounds are recorded with portable devices.
