Kagami Smile's output as of late has been focused on minimal meditative loops. This is the first of many ambient albums coming out from now until Fall built around recordings of his daughter's toys recorded and degraded tape loops which give the work an ethereal raw feel.


"Gathering Rain.
A moon in my mind.
A moon in your mind."

After a conversation and exchange of ideas orbiting his album
'Unfinished Portrait Of Youth Today' (2013, The Tapeworm),
german sound artist Hanno Leichtmann contributes a beautiful 
collection of Loop Music to the Off Center catalogue.

Sitting, immersed in a silent film noir played slightly too fast.
The movements uncanny. Trying to follow a storyline by lip
reading and listening to the tonality of the score.

Here. Rewatching this scene over and over. Again.

Suspenseful progressions throughout. (Parts 1-18)

Often times we're left with a strangely familiar feeling.
The warming, fuzzy frequencies constantly bordering
on melancholia. Collaged, vivid memories and emotions.

It's dark again.

The lonely detective on a corner with his hands burried.
Waiting, watching, observing, following a suspect unnoticed.

The case unravels in his head. Then it's being chased through a
dusty mechanical room. Not a soul. Gears and wheels are whirring
at a volume, faint shifting, the material slowly disintegrates.
Rapid rotations and steady beeping overlayed (hypnotic hum)
A distant siren. Try to focus. Try to find a way through the smog,
the oily, moist air. Hallucinations.

Hanno Leichtmann is based and working in Berlin, has published
works on Entr'acte, Karlrecords, his own label Picture/Disk, 
and collaborated with Faitiche's Jan Jelinek and Andrew Pekler
among a variety of artists.
