“Sawako’s works here ranges widely, from pastel-tone songs like innocent childhood memories,

“One of the most beautiful sound experience I’ve had in a long time.It was like laying back in a large grassy eld with headphones and really soft pillow. In my imagination, one by one I was plugged my headphones into the sky, the ground, the birds,the clouds and the gentle machines of nature and man. Her music is like the earth speaking in its own language and only Sawako can understand the words!”
(Andrew Deutsch)
.
“a delicious cocktail of avours that is friendly, charming and engaging right from the outset.
Magical tones and textures are conjured from the most everyday of scenarios
and the incidental recordings of found sounds adds a personal level to the recordings.”
(smallfish record, London)
.
“one should be careful with gender specific attributions, because this music sounds absolutely undominant, fragil, soft, gentle, delicate and tender, but is at the same time full of organic bursts, ruptures and technically that detailed and eleborate processed, that it would be non-sense to assign this music to any normativly constructed femininity.”
