Sachiko & Fukuoka Rinji ‎– áTOMO∑

Sachiko and Rinji Fukuoka played together in Overhang Party, but the fuzz/garage vibe of that band has nothing to do with this one. This cd consists of two live performances where Fukuoka's dirge-like violin fits nicely with Sachiko's vocal incantation and underwater electronics. Overall it sounds to me a lot similar to some Troum stuff. 2011 cd on Music Atlach.

Rinji Fukuoka / Michel Henritzi / Luca Massolin ‎– Weather Report LP

This is exceptional. Serving as an elegy for the Fukushima earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident, what we have is an amalgam of improvisational sounds to stand for the swirling tumult of environmental disaster. Violin funeral dirges, toxic waste electronics, and psychedelic guitar lines eventually crash and melt into the cathartic noise of the Earth's inevitable end. Luca Massolin on bass, guitar and electronics, Rinji Fukuoka on violin and Michel Henritzi on lapsteel guitar. 2014 lp on Backwards
