Recorded at Knuttle house, in Toyyo, Japan, on May 5th, 2023, by Takanori Terabe.
"This is the memorable 10th live document of the free improvised music sessions co-organized by doubtmusic and FULLDESIGN RECORDS at KNUTTEL HOUSE in Iriya, recorded on multi-tracks on 5 May 2023. "mn" of Mikawa and Numata and "HRS" of Nishimura and Fujikake got united miraculously for this very special occasion, so the title was settled as "MNHRS". Highly recommended to listen as loud as possible. If that is not easily achieved, then with headphones, but high in volume. We are pretty confident that this would serve you with fulfillment."-Doubtmusic

| Two 60's collaborators of Japanese guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi--drummer Hiroshi Yamazaki and bassist Nobuyoshi Ino--formed this "Tryangle" to invite third improvisers for their performances, here joining forces with alto saxophonist Eiichi Hayashi (Catle Band, Aki Takase) for this exceptional live concert at Koen-dori Classics, in Tokyo, Japan in 2022. | |
 | Yoshida, Tatsuya / Dairo Suga Root (Doubtmusic) |
| Driven by a passionate intensity, this first meeting of drummer Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins, Korekyojinn, Koenji Hyakkei, &c) and pianist Dario Suga at 7th Floor in Shibuya, Japan begins at high speed, the sheer technical brilliance of both players dazzling, their unbridled energy eventually yielding to passages of introspection that recur to fervor and fraternity; exceptional! | |
 | Gustafsson, Mats / Otomo Yoshihide Duo / Timing (Doubtmusic) |
| Meeting at GOK Sound studio in Kichijoji, Japan in front of a small audience, Swedish baritone saxophonist Mats Gustafsson (The Thing, Fire!) also performing on flutephone and live electronics, and Otomo Yoshihide (Ground-Zero, Regenorchester) performing on guitar, turntable and banjo, recorded these eight amazing improvisations of unusual and unique attitudes and timing. | |

| Saxophonist Junji Hirose met Kazuhisa Uchihashi at Foxhole in Kichijoji in 2014 and 2015, Uchihashi performing only on Hans Reichel's daxophone--wood shapes played in a variety of ways to create unusual sound--as heard on these 10 surprising and wonderfully idiosyncratic recordings. | |
