Knotwilg / Belgium / 2026
Wheel of Life is the new LP by Japanese hurdy-gurdy artist TOMO, released via Knotwilg Records. Following Vieille-Electronica, the record dives further into a singular blend of drone, folk and minimal experimentation.
Rooted in Breton tradition yet shaped by influences from Japan, India and medieval music, Wheel of Life unfolds as a timeless and hypnotic work. TOMO’s playing moves between fragile intimacy and raw, almost punk-like build-ups. Music that lingers and reveals itself over time.
