Nebel lang - there was a break in

1. (situate)
2. no pavement
3. in the clouds

---

i walked from the airport,
which only looked like a couple of minutes on the maps,
but turned out to be an hour in heavy rain.
very cold, very miserable.
no pavement,
every car splashed me.

there was a break in the clouds for about thirty minutes when i arrived.

Tatsuro Murakami is an artist originally from Tokyo, Japan, who spent several years Brazil before returning home, to rural Japan. After emerging from his earlier work as part of a progressive rock band, Tatsuro began to make Ambient and Experimental music. In the year that he graduated from a conservatory in São Paulo, he released his debut album on La Petite Chambre, a label from Belo Horizonte in Brazil. A few years later ‘The Sound of Living Things’ followed, on Italian imprint ROHS! Records. He has also headlined with many well-known compatriots including Shuta Yasukochi, Rhucle, Ken Ikeda and Ayami Suzuki.

Tatsuro’s work draws inspiration from places and feelings, whether this be photography, film or personal accounts and experiences. Living in Latin America and recollecting his time in rural Japan, nature has become a fixation for this artist, bleeding into the concepts of his work. A wide and varied taste covering styles such as Brazilian Choro music, Ambient and Jazz combined with his studies and performances as part of bands such as Stone Music, has led to a beautiful combination of sounds and textures in his solo work.

‘An Imaginary Autumn’ is a set of seven reflections, transcribing the eight years’ worth of Japanese Autumns that Tatsuro was not able to experience, due to personal circumstances. He aimed to create something as beautiful as the autumn leaves in Japan, which he was unable to see for himself. He stepped outside one December, only to be greeted by the cold winter wind as Autumn had already disappeared.

Tracks range in mood and composition, with opening piece ‘Slow Dance’ reflecting chord progressions that you might hear in Choro or Jazz music. ‘Liquefied Surface’ decodes the randomised melodies of a small modular synth kit before ‘In Her Absence’ warps electric guitar and bass into unrecognisable instrument sounds. Centrepiece ‘Misplaced Dream’ takes a solo guitar motif recorded to cassette tape, adorned by further iterations of minimal guitar sounds and happenstance tape-processing errors. The absorbing ‘Swimming in the Dark’ and its satisfying hiss follows, using a recording from a dark and rainy day in Tokyo. ‘Dialogue with a Mountain’ haunts, as Tatsuro’s first toy keyboard is turned into a droning soundscape, fed through some effects pedals. Closing piece ‘Rising of Something Brilliant’ places an electric guitar loop alongside some classical guitar chords, with cascading echoes of subtle overdrives and faded riffs ebbing into a melancholy bliss.

‘An Imaginary Autumn’ is the second album to utilise our new record wallet style format, with artwork provided by Tatsuro’s long-time collaborator Anais-karenin. The photography here perfectly depicts the idyllic Japanese autumns that Tatsuro had been starved of for so long, until finally he was reunited in 2021.

An Imaginary Autumn

wlr143 Tatsuro Murakami - An Imaginary Autumn

sound art series based on the poetry collection "Stories Untold"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

people were falling in the streets
shivering in agony, for what they saw would hit them
like a bolt, scalding them from within,
the Great War was now inside them

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am buried
with you, and the others
in the trenches of shame, all piled up
& covered with sickening laughter.
Our eyeballs are rubbed with injustices,
ears deafen by rumble of terror,
hearts numbed with trepidation,
limbs soaked in repugnant lies,
minds bleached by virtual ordure.
They murder, they rape, they rob.
They bury. Me, you,
and the others.

this 21-minute long sound work is a forest tale about war, re-imagined from the perspective of the land that witnessed centuries of socio-cultural turmoil. tamed nature versus wilderness, contaminated versus protected land, the Iron Curtain belt saw some significant changes – from being a brutal barrier between East and West strewn with mine fields, to becoming a highly protected European natural heritage.

the somewhat tense, suffocating and dark-sounding atmosphere of this piece reflects my feelings on possible relations between former and present conflicts, and alludes to the harsh consequences necro-politics of the past are imposing on contemporary society.

the stunning forest microbiome researched in this work is now part of the European Green Belt, formerly the Iron Curtain borderlands between Austria and Czech Republic.

for what they saw would hit them like a bolt

(Gallego) 
O vento, coma os soños, disipa os nosas néboas soterradas
Leva as nosas pedras ennegrecidas, rechinando de pena.
O lóstrego fragmentaos e esnaquízaos. Para que a terra poida voltar a dixerilos.
Durante unha noite o raposa aconsella antes de que se pechen as portas dos soños.

_
(fr)
Le vent, comme les rêves, chasse nos brumes enfouies
Charrie nos cailloux noircis, grinçant de chagrin.
Le tonnerre les fragmente et les égrène. 
Pour que la terre les digère à nouveau. 
Le temps d'une nuit la renarde avise et conseille avant que la porte des songes ne se referme.
