An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like). 

Whether it was the Drones in the sky display or the Pictograms performance that caught your eye during the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony, you must have wondered at the music during the Japanese Kabuki dance-drama section featuring the artist Hiromi. Playing piano in a flamboyant style, much like her 'anime' hair, her improvisation and mix of jazz, classical and rock reminded me of Keith Emerson's much loved meanderings and indulgent show-off-manship while hitting the ivories with everything available.

Her actual performance from the ceremony is not available on the web, though a short picture sequence is [FYI here].
The full piece called 'Spectrum' is available to experience > Hiromi

 

There are many other videos worth a look, those with her trio especially.
