Silence

After announcing the 30 year run of his Japanese psych legends, Ghost, Masaki Batoh immediately formed The Silence. After a chance meeting in 2013 with Okano (who played on Ghost's "Lama Rabi Rabi") and still in need of direction, Batoh turned to another old companion and original Ghost-mate, Ogino. Tasked with the production and arrangement of The Silence, Ogino selected Jan Stigter on bass, Ryuichiro Yoshida on flute and saxophone, and himself on organ and piano. With Okano playing drums and percussion and Batoh supplying guitar and vocals, The Silence was complete. The songs of The Silence fill the air with the richness of powerful rock n roll and the deep mystic resonance of the ancient traditional musics of the world.
