The kind of quirky lunacy only possible in Japan, Syzygys is a remarkable instrumental duo that performs infectiously original pop songs on Harry Partch's 43 note to the octave microtonal organ.

Sometimes, a fan of avant-garde music can get struck by the simplest thing, simply because "simple" and "tonal" are not part of his/her surroundings anymore. That situation is what awaits followers of John Zorn's label "Tzadik" upon encountering À Qui Avec Gabriel's CD, Utsuho.
