Die Kreuzung, for U (alto-shô or accordion), alto saxophone, and double bass (1995)
Mayumi Miyata, Sho (U)
Takashi Saito, alto saxophone
Keizo Misoiri, double bass
Fumio Tamura, conductor
The idea of the composite instrument can be traced back to the works I wrote for prerecorded and live soloist beginning around 1988. In my works Afatsim for mixed ensemble, Die Kreuzung for U (Alto-Shô or Accordion), Alto-Saxophone and Double-bass, and the String Quartet, disparate instruments become a single composite instrument.
