Three-Crossing River was originally recorded as one continuous piece, with an introduction and 8 different stories, inspired by 13 images from Maurer and Moore's YOKAI exhibition (White Conduit Projects 2022), the mythical 'Three-crossing River' of Buddhist tradition, and the structure of Japanese noh drama.
For those who prefer to experience the piece in full, this is the track for you!
View the images from YŌKAI at White Conduit Projects gallery, London (until 27/2/22) and at www.maurer-moore.com.
