Has anyone here played or know of this piece?

I saw the title while browsing works on Steve Weiss, and was intrigued by it. I cannot seem to find any information on the level of difficulty or techniques used, or even where to begin looking for a recording of it.

The composer is Norio Fukushi. The piece is Anima of a Tree, which is for marimba and woodblocks. It was comissioned by Atahshi Sugahara and premiered in 1995 in Japan. Thats all I can find on it so anything else would be greatly appreciated.

Fukushi's Anima of a Tree is for 4.0 marimba and 5 wood blocks. The difficulty level looks to be somewhat more than the hardest of the Abe improvisation pieces (Variations on Japanese Children's Songs, etc.), but not severe, having mostly to do with counterpoint and independence between the hands.

There is a recording on Atsushi Sugahara's CD "Thirteen Drums", Camerata 30CM-414.
