At times it is hard to believe you’re hearing just a single marimba (additional instruments, all played by Kuniko, appear on only three pieces). Kuniko thus hits a certain sweet spot, and it’s no surprise to learn that all three of the composers featured here - Arvo Pärt, Reich once again, and British minimalist Hywel Davies - supervised and approved of Kuniko’s arrangements. This is an extremely intriguing idea, for latter-day developments in minimalist music have involved experiments with extending its range without losing its basic aesthetic. Kuniko sets out to expand the sonic vocabulary of her percussion instruments through the use of various mallets and strike techniques. Cantus, which is curiously named, expands on the transcription ideas developed for the earlier release. Kuniko Kato, who goes by the single name Kuniko, is an emerging Japanese marimba and vibraphone virtuosa who stirred up considerable attention with her 2011 release kuniko plays reich.
