Yasushi Utsunomia is the producer. (   ) is the name of the release. The
producer uses Jon as the subject for his supposed "new sound" production,
implying an approach that is supposed to be experienced by unused parts
of the brain. Included is rather lengthy liner notes explaining his
theory and processes. I picked it up yesterday and listened to it a
couple times and I think it's a great release. Some of the tracks sound
like field recordings of Jon singing and playing in various environments.
She has an ingenius childlike sense of composition. Here is the text from
the liner notes: http://www.cooshin.kita.osaka.jp/utsunomia/joncde.htm
