Satsuki Odamura's new CD, Koto Dreaming is a collection of innovative and uniquely Australian multicultural compositions for koto. Koto Dreaming breaks away from the traditional sounds and compositions for koto, and includes Satsuki's own collaborative compositions with Australian artists. It is a synthesis of her inspirations gained by her working closely with Australian artists and a culmination of her fifteen years accumulative experience as koto virtuoso based in Australia.
Koto Dreaming was launched in February, 2006 at the Japan Foundation, Sydney, followed by a concert by Waratah, a trio including Satsuki Odamura, Sandy Evans and Tony Lewis.

The CHIKA Soundtrack was composed by Thomas Fitzgerald, with one exquisite work, the Koto Solo by Satsuki Odamura. This unusual collaboration of instruments featuring koto, shakuhachi, wadaiko, acoustic and electric violin and keyboards, blends live music and pre recorded acoustic and electronic sounds with a unique result. It is the sum of these myriad combinations of a surreal reality that have become CHIKA's musical world.

Water Spirits - Honoka
"Water Spirits resulted from a period of intense collaboration between Satsuki Odamura and James Ashley Franklin as the dawning of Honoka. The titles of each track, as well as that of the recording itself, reflect the feeling which underlies all the music: the sounds, sights and textures of water, found in different landscapes and manifestations, from streams in the mountains to noble coastlines."
