Profile

[Fujiwara Michiyama × SINSKE]
Fujiwara Michiyama is active not only in Japanese music but also in a wide range of genres as a young leader who opened up new charm of shakuhachi. SINSKE plays melodies with a unique world view by freely controlling a 5-octave marimba. The "Bolero" (composed by Ravel), which uses only the shakuhachi bamboo flute and marimba, is highly regarded in concert halls in Japan as "the smallest orchestra in the world." He is active not only in concerts but also in various genres such as stage music.
