Synthesis & Result
During a musical tour in Tokyo at the Shibuya Showcase Festival, after meeting with friends and a magic crow, this project on the mythology of the three-legged crow was born. By mixing its name ARASHKHA and KARASU (crow in Japanese), the ARASHKARASU (storm of crows in Japanese) project received its title. This mythology is common in Japan, China and Korea. ARASHKHA has produced a 40-minute film-concert which poetically questions the themes of Nature, Urbanity, Ruin, Eros and Spirituality.
