Next gig at the studio will be a very special one:

Yama Warashi
Elsa Hewitt
Moongate

Yama Warashi joins us to perform an intimate show of exquisite piano and synth works for the first time since relocating to Japan.

First founded in Bristol in 2015, the output of Yama Warashi has since flourished across one EP and three albums, from the graceful spiritual jazz of 2016’s MOON ZERO to the evocative, psychedelic dreamworlds of her debut album Moon Egg - released in the same year - to the existential, Bon Odori-inspired music of 2018’s Boiled Moon. Relocating to London, after being drawn to the city by its open-minded music scene - especially the activity centred around Cafe OTO and the Total Refreshment Centre - Shigihara released Crispy Moon in 2022, unfurling even grander, more lavish depths within her multifaceted soundworld.
Enriched by the kaleidoscopic influence of Japanese folk dance, free jazz, African music and psychedelia, Shigihara illustrates the ever-evolving qualities of Yama Warashi on At My Mother’s Piano, crafting exquisite, improvisational solo piano works interlaced with vivid field recordings, inspired by a trip back to her family home in Ashiya City, Hyōgo, Japan in 2024.
