Together with Nick Luscombe and James Greer from MSCTY, the group explored the sonic landscape of Memu, through field recording and improvised musical events at numerous locations.
Upon returning to his home studio, Makoto then wrote and recorded a series of piano pieces, inspired by his memories of Memu.
