TURNER PLAYS CANOPUS DRUMS
JAPANESE SOLO CDS
the japanese solo cd project.
these three cd’s were recorded or put together for the japanese tours I was doing each year between 2013 and 2019.
they date from 2017, 2018 and 2019.
many japanese like to have souvenirs to remind themselves of certain experiences, but also out of a very real and determined interest.
the audiences I have been fortunate to have throughout japan have been extraordinarily generous in their focus, commitment to the music and thanks.
so I wanted to make some music exclusive to them, and furnish each cd with some visual material to fill out the package and make it all a bit special.
it was a hard job, not making the music, but doing everything else, and of course was very much worth it: I had complete control over the product and its sales, and audiences seemed to enjoy it all.
i created the self-label “bulletin records” for this project, and produced a limited quantity , generally I think around 55 per issue. they have also sold out.
