Core

From the soft, digital murmur of notation software and the absence of physical instruments, The FURICO Music Team (FMT) emerges, not as a band, but as a motion. A pendulum. A thought experiment materialized in waveform. 

Founded in Japan and composed of members TM and TI, FMT is less a musical group than a conceptual unit for sonic construction, deconstruction, and transformation. Describing their works as Auditory Art, FMT doesn’t simply make music; they create what they call "Auditory Art," where sound is both the medium and the inquiry. Every note is born in a digital void, composed entirely through notation software and production tools, unbound by fingers or fretboards. It’s a practice that reveals new sonic geometries and emotional architectures built in impossible spaces. 

Their latest album, Le Cube Dans Mon Rêve (The Cube in My Dream), is a speculative sonic response to Cubism, not its visual representations, but its method. Its disassembly. Its ghostly logic. The origin spark was a quietly buried drawing by a guest collaborator, Chiaki Tamura, a torn, reassembled work titled Temps et Regard (Time and Gaze), which became both a mirror and a catalyst for TM’s reexamination of Cubist thought in sound. 
As TM reflects, "Music history seemingly skipped a Cubist movement. While visual arts progressed through Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, and Futurism before reaching abstraction, music moved almost directly from Impressionism to dodecaphony, as developed by Arnold Schönberg and others."  What if that missing chapter had existed? What if sound could be prismatic? What if musical time, like a shattered face in a Braque or a bottle in a Picasso, could be reassembled, fragmented, and out of order? 

The album unfolds in the exact order of its creation, beginning with Cube 1: Le Déclencheur (Trigger), a foundational piece inspired by Cézanne’s visual innovations and imagined as a kind of "Neo-Impressionism" in sound, using tonal ambiguity and rhythmic displacement to suggest fragmented perception. Originally intended as part of a suite with Cube 2: Les Tentatives (Attempts), a geometric deconstruction of the first, these two works became the seed from which the remaining tracks organically emerged, each one reflecting a new facet of the same conceptual object as it is turned, refracted, and glimpsed from shifting angles. 

Though FMT’s work is forward-leaning, it resonates with the subtle futurism and ambient sophistication threaded through Japan’s proto-electronic history. Their music evokes, not imitates, the spatial elegance of Interior, the crystalline classicism of Satsuki Shibano, the fluid bass geographies of Motohiko Hamase, and the generative logic that once launched YMO into myth. These references aren’t about genre, but rather a shared instinct to reshape sound into unfamiliar, emotional forms. FMT extends this lineage not by homage, but by dismantling its language to sculpt new, imagined architectures. 

But this is no academic exercise. FMT’s palette is strange and delicate, sometimes cool and distant, sometimes tenderly off-balance. Sounds echo without sources. Rhythms that seem to emerge in rehearsal. Voices, or echoes of them, drift in and out like fleeting thoughts. It's music composed not to replicate Cubism, but to dream it, to simulate its psychological weight as well as its form. As the album's subtitle implies, Le Cube Dans Mon Rêve is Cubism remembered as it never was: a dream fragment of a movement music never had.
