From the very first day I set foot in Kyoto, I knew I didn’t want to leave. During those 22 days, I tried to capture the essence of the place—the scent of its greenery, the golden tones of the sunset, the sound of the wind weaving through the trees.
“Even in Kyoto, hearing the cuckoo, I long for Kyoto.”
This haiku by Bashō perfectly expresses what it feels like to be there. Even in the midst of the experience, you find yourself longing for it—because you know that being there, like everything else, is fleeting.

Help us getting to Kyoto! 🙏⛩👇
It may sound crazy, but weve never been in Kyoto. We are from Argentina and we feel a strong connection with the traditional japanese culture. So we get our japanese inspiration from Youtube videos, japanese musicians, blogs, books and pictures posted by locals and tourists.
We love Kyoto and we want to get there! We want to visit the place that inspired so many songs to us for more than ten years.
And you can help us.
All donations will be destinated to our first (and maybe only?) trip to Japan. Once there, we want to play our music but we also will be recording soundscapes, making video footages and taking pictures for our future releases. All that material will be freely available for download with a Creative Commons License.
Be part of our dream. Your name will be put in a list of contributors, and that list will be stored in a sacred place at Kyoto when we get there. Every contribution will get us closer to our destination. Thank you!
