Review by Shannon R.

Sawada Lebik, the collaborative album by Gerard Lebik and Morihide Sawada, has received critical acclaim for its experimental sound and innovative approach to music-making. The album is a seamless blend of ambient, electronic, and improvisational music, featuring Lebik's saxophone and Sawada's electronic instruments.

The album opens with "Kami," a haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The duo's ability to create a sense of space and atmosphere is evident throughout the album, with tracks like "Shinrin" and "Chikyu" transporting listeners to otherworldly landscapes.

Lebik and Sawada's use of unconventional instrumentation and techniques is particularly impressive. On "Kon," for example, Sawada creates a mesmerizing loop using a cassette player, while Lebik's saxophone adds a layer of texture and emotion to the track.
