"LOG" is a project by Miyauchi Yuri to create music at his own pace, leaving fragments of music with environmental sounds of the day and place whenever he feels like it. On his official website (miyauchiyuri.com), He upload demo versions made on the same day (or sometimes later). I think I will mainly record and produce music in Chiba, Japan, where I live, but He will also try to do it in various places such as expeditions and travel destinations.

[VERSE 1: YOUNG] (playful, breathless)
Your laugh was my first sacrament—
No stained glass shone as bright as it.
They say, "Wait for skies of gold,"
But you were warmth when we grew cold…

[VERSE 2: MIDDLE-AGED] (worn, wonder-filled)
Your wrinkles map the years we stole—
Each line a psalm, each scar a scroll.
They preach of pearly gates above…
Darling, I’ve known them.
They’re your love.

[CHORUS: BOTH] (harmonized, simple)
Heaven was you in candlelight,
Heaven was fighting side by side.
If God asked where my worship starts,
I’d point to where
…your pulse meets mine.

[BRIDGE: OLD] (fragile, unshaken)
(He, voice cracking:) "The priest says ‘eternity’s so long’…"
(She, smiling:) "It’s just a breath since our first song."
(Both, laughing:) "Angels? Oh, we’ve met a few—
They taught us chords…
…but you taught blues."

[FINAL CHORUS: GHOSTS] (floating, unresolved)
Now Heaven’s just our old front porch,
Your hand in mine, no need to talk.
The Devil grins—we grin back too…
We’ve had our Heaven.
It was you.

(The lights fade on two empty rocking chairs, still swaying.)

Heaven Was You (Beauty's version)

Following 2010’s release of the Kitchen. Label classic “sketch”, ironomi returns with their long awaited seventh album, a 3CD 164 minutes collection entitled ‘niji’ (English Translation: Rainbow). Joining pianist Junya Yanagidaira and programmer Yu Isobe are a stellar line-up of their most loved collaborators and contemporaries. In ‘niji’, the record is marked by the same tranquility and fleetingness of their sound but also offers a slight departure from the traditions of ironomi’s previous recordings with the addition of other instruments (Saxophone, Contrabass, Koto, Violins etc) contributed by the guest musicians on each of the 12 tracks - Featuring Nobuyuki Nakajima, Jyoji Sawada (Choro Club) as well as members of the Kitchen. Label family ASPIDISTRAFLY, haruka nakamura, ARAKI Shin, Akira Uchida, Rie Nemoto among many others.

ironomi has a sound which is almost enigmatic to describe. One could listen to their albums on an ambient level and just let the music flow through. Or one could listen closer and find a detail in the sound that is intricate and palatable. ironomi’s impressionistic ripples of piano fragments generate the cumulative feel of a gently flowing river or the shifting play of light through the leaves of trees. ironomi is like nature, a sound of nature that has existed from the beginning and free from any judgement.

The duo’s music is distinctively less about conventional compositional structure than it is about the creating and sustain of mood. For each of the recordings in ‘niji’, improvised sessions were recorded and the best takes were kept intact with very minimal post production. The works showcase ironomi’s capacity to construct compelling music in real-time, their melodic-harmonic imagination as an improviser and ability to consistently find and shape new forms with each of their collaborators also sharing the same strong sense for the dialectics of sound and silence. A wishful charm imbues this entire recording of pieces which, though not written together, seem to have been predestined for each other in this album.

The latest album is highlighted by almost 40 minutes worth of music recorded together with haruka nakamura on classical guitar, whom he had spent his early formative years touring and collaborating with the duo on numerous occasions. In the collaboration with April Lee and Ricks Ang of ASPIDISTRAFLY, voices are striving to be heard and a song was unexpectedly born from the improvisational session. The result is perhaps the most strongly lyrical piece of ironomi’s releases to date.

“niji” is available on 3CD and digital formats on 24th December 2015. The physical CD copy comes in a customised letter-pressed folio. The cover is designed with a unique holographic foil which cause a refraction that creates constantly changing light reflections and prismatic colors. All linking back to the symbolic representation of the miraculous hues of ironomi’s sound world, trapping the listeners in a peaceful space of pure sound and sonic allusions.

LR127 Josiah Steinbrick - Meeting of Waters
leavingrecords.bandcamp.com/album/meeti…g-of-waters

Following the debut release of his minimal-music ensemble BANANA earlier this year, Josiah Steinbrick, the Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer returns with his first collection of solo works titled Meeting Of Waters, available October 27th on LEAVING Records. The album shares some of that ensemble’s concerns, notably in its interest in pattern based music, but here the emphasis is placed on subtle explorations of percussive tones and creating interior or imagined worlds.

The works on Meeting of Waters stem from Steinbrick's childhood fascination with anthropology and travel tales and almost operates like a cartography of some indeterminate landscape. Each piece has a palette of one to five elements that work in harmony together -- with synthesizers, marimbaphones, tuned wood, idiophones, bells, and gongs providing resonant tones that slowly accrete in detail. There's a measured yet thoroughly engaging pace throughout, that, much like Malaysian Temiar Dream Music, seems to "interpret the heart of reality".

As in the work of David Toop, Toshi Tsuchitori, Walter Maioli, or Luis Pérez Ixoneztli (whom Steinbrick recently collaborated with), the pre-historic and hyper-modern are effortlessly intertwined. If - as famed French Structural Anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss believed - myths, music, and dreams are "machines for the suppression of time", then "Meeting of Waters" features nine ingeniously and exquisitely crafted examples of that theory in action.
