about

Tsundoku is a Japanese slang word which describes the act of acquiring many books or reading materials but letting them pile up in your home without reading them.
It is also the name of an ongoing project by Agia Monaxia,
a (possibly) never ending series of albums each containing a handful of musical ‘chapters’.
Each of these chapters represents a special book that has had a personal impact on one or both of the members of Agia Monaxia.

The music acts as a soundtrack to the book it represents, or at least a snapshot of the general feeling it portrays. It is intended as background music for reading, meditation or yoga but can be used in any context really, it’s just there to create a mood.

The music on vol3 represents the following books:
‘Pachinko’ by Min Jin Lee.
‘The missing piece meets the Big O’ by Shel Silverstein.
‘Born to run’ by Christopher McDougall.
‘Roadside picnic’ by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky.
‘After dark’ by Haruki Murakami.

Volume 3 is due for release in December 2021 and was recorded earlier in November of the the year using the sounds of field recordings, recorded by the band.

Tsundoku will be available in a series of bespoke cassette tape volumes, each personally made to order by the band and each one packaged inside a specially made book of its own, to be collected over the years creating your very own musical tsundoku.
