"Kiui" Avant/Experimental Music Double LP Album. Alm Records AL-3008-9. Japanese Pressing from late 1970's. Includes an informative insert.

Kiyoshihiko Sano who led the free improvisation orchestra "GAP" (short for Ground Apple Practice) together with Masaru Soga, who participated in "Line Music" by Jo Kondo, and Masami Tada of East Bionic Symphonia. This work is a collection of works from 70 to 79 years before GAP formation. Although it is a solo name, GAP plans to publish records. There is no context connecting each song, and trial and error in performance and composition are recorded, and there are also songs in which Masaru Soga and Masami Tada are participating, so there is a glimpse of the background directly connected to GAP.

ENJOY!
