Our longtime friend & correspondant Sawako,
inspired by ComLib's theme of community-
without-geography, assembles a collage of source
materials donated from her cast of international
collaborators (Polmo Polpo, Tu'm, Yuichiro Fuji-
moto, to name a few.) The resulting work,
Omnibus, is intimate and personal, atmospheric
experimental collage music that is unafraid to
combine an avant-garde method with subtle ele-
ments of pop, humour, and a handmade feeling.
Above all else, Omnibus is a work of experimental
music that clearly shows Sawako's love for sound,
love for her friends, and an intuitive knack for
incorporating her friends' sounds into her own
designs.

Beginning with field recording experiments and
soundscape music in the early 00's, Sawako
rapidly became an exemplar of the "quiet is the
new loud" edict of Japan's sound art community.
She has performed around the world and previously
released music on labels such as and/OAR and
12K, as well as a multitude of CDR, mp3, and
compilation appearances. Omnibus was actually
recorded in 2002; her most recent release is Yours
Grey on and/OAR. She is currently based in NYC,
where she is attending NYU's graduate program
in new media and technology.
