Release notes (from https://kitchenlegrecordsberlin.bandcamp.com/album/saiko-ryusui-le-large ):

“When working as a nanny, Saiko used to make simple songs for every kid who became her friend. Since 2018 she is involved with s h i f t s - art in movement, producing music to accompany performance pieces for young audiences.

For “Le Large” Saiko created a series of small music sketches, out of her imaginary note book, the same she uses often to draw episode of her life. Conceived originally for choreography, drafting sound suggestions of forests, sea, animals, her music is close to some of the most inspiring exotica, space-age pop, minimalism.

Saiko Ryusui is a Berlin-based musician & artist who is known in the local DIY underground music scene as the drummer of Kitchen Leg’s own universal pop group Brabrabra.
