Endless Season: Legendary Maestro Daniel Carter and Flourishing Saxist Ayumi Ishito Join Forces in Dreamy Debut Album That Redefines ‘Auditory Escape’

The ultimate cosmic music has arrived!  Prepare to be gently led into an invigorating electronic dreamscape by a skillfully creative partnership.  Despite collaborating since 2016, Endless Season is the first duo album from 577 Records Co-Creator (and legendary maestro), Daniel Carter, and rising tenor saxist Ayumi Ishito.

Originally recorded as an acoustic set, the plan changed when Carter encouraged Ishito to explore audio production.  Before they knew it, she had shaped beats and sounds that perfectly complemented his creativity, forming a tranquil, melodic dialogue.  His delightful expressions become animated through his trumpet, saxophones, clarinet, flute, piano, and poems.  When they meet Ayumi’s courage, playfulness, and head-turning musical gifts in this dimension, blissful ambiance and sounds as deep as Mother Nature are born.  It’s why she so aptly suggested Endless Season for the title of this release.

Daniel Carter is the philosopher behind grassroots label, 577 Records.  He is world-renowned for his multi-instrumentalist talents and awe-inspiring musical innovation.  Ayumi Ishito is considered one of the best young, dynamic, creative musicians in New York’s avant-garde scene.  Many agree she represents the future of this genre with her incredible means of weaving together sound and imagination.

Their six-track duo debut will be available on CD and digital download starting February 28, 2025!
