Musician Eric Ross is guest artist on the No.1 charted CD in Japan. He plays theremin, guitar and synthesizer on Aqi Fzono's "Cosmology". The album broke in at the No.5 ranking just two days after it was released and then shot to No.1 early in May.
Fzono, a synthesist and orchestral composer has had several hits in Japan in the past. This time Cosmix Records immediately added an Eric Ross webpage in Japanese linked to Fzono's many fan websites. It introduces Ross as an "important man in the electronic music world and theremin music pioneer." Ross has performed concerts of his original works at Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, and at major international jazz festivals including Newport, Berlin, Montreux, North Sea and Copenhagen among many others. He often performs multimedia concerts with his wife, video artist, Mary Ross.
