To celebrate the release of our new album "The Flower, The Bird and The Mountain" we got together at home to record this live version of "Setsuko's Smile", the last track of the side A of the album.
We hope the music transports you to the landscapes of Kyoto as it does us!

The Flower, The Bird and The Mountain - "A love letter to the masters of Japanese Ambient and Environmental music."
Available now on Digital and Vinyl thekyotoconnectionioj.bandcamp.com by Isle of Jura Records
Help us get to Kyoto!
It may sound crazy, but weβve never been in Kyoto. We are from Argentina and we feel a strong connection with the traditional japanese culture. We love Kyoto and we want to get there! We need to visit the place that inspired so many songs to us for more than 17 years.
And you can help us.
Be part of our dream.: please donate. All earnings will be destined to fund our first trip to Japan. Your name will be put in our list of contributors, and the list will be stored in a special place at Kyoto when we get there.
Every contribution will get us closer to our destination. Thank you!

HELP US GET 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 destined 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!
