Patrick Shiroishi decided to record his new album of experimental saxophone compositions in an…interesting studio. The musician—whose credits extend beyond the countless solo and duo albums he’s released over the past four years with various collaborators to the experimental jazz group Fuubutsushi, as well as being featured on recent releases by The Armed, Injury Reserve, and black metal outfits Agriculture and Yellow Eyes—chose to record I was too young to hear silence with a saxophone, a glockenspiel, two microphones, and a Zoom recorder. He performed the entire album in a single, improvised take, and he did so in a cavernous parking structure below a hot pot restaurant in Monterey Park shortly after midnight.
