Description:

Hidemaro Chikamori, "Fate" with all his might. This source was recorded for the phonograph sheet accompanying the "Sekai Ongaku Zenshu" (Complete Collection of World Music) published by Chikuma Shobo in 1962, and was never sold as an LP. The original master tapes have already been lost, and no detailed data, including the time and place of recording, has been found, making this a truly phantom source. For this reason, the recordings were carefully extracted from the few remaining unused phonosheets, with little noise reduction applied, and great care was taken to preserve the energy of the original recordings. The recording was made within the constraints of five phonosheets and 30 minutes, and the single-shot recording required a great deal of concentration.
