King Gnu / DARE??(Vivid Red remix)

ギターの越野竜太(らぞく)とドラムの大竹重寿(cro-magnon)の2人による完全インプロデュオひこうき雲。空気の周波数。jazz、hip-hop、techno....。それぞれ弾けてゆくあいまいな瞬間。そこから始まる序章。フリージャムセッション。ミュージックラバーへ、高みを目指す全ての仲間達へ贈る、ひこうき雲からの1st　ISSUE『メロウドライヴ』、遂にリリース。

Hikoki Gumo  "Mellowdrive”

Hikoki Gumo is an 'absolute improv duo' consisting of Ryuta Cosino, the guitarist of Razoku, and Shigekazu Otake, the drummer of cro-magnon, both three-piece jam bands. This is the very first piece of work from the duo, and includes three extra-long tunes spanning around 10 minutes or so each. The tracks transform freely, rushing from a progressive-ish development into a cosmic four-on-the-floor, and switches from solid funk to a psychedelic session. The duo’s acrobatic exchanges wouldn't let go of your ears. It's a danceable and yet thrilling collection of 'live-recorded' music.

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.

me and Punimelt have wanted to cover this song for a long time so we finally sat down and put together a quick little something. She sang on the track and I helped with the album art.

街はイルミネーション　君はイリュージョン
天使のような微笑み
君を思い出せば　胸が苦しくて
消えて失くなりそうだ
 
甘いシュークリーム　君はシュプリーム
月面のブランコは揺れる
夢の中で僕等　手をつないで飛んでた
目が醒めて僕は泣いた
 
永遠に生きられるだろうか
永遠に君のために
 
ＢＡＢＹ　ＢＡＢＹ
君を抱きしめていたい
何もかもが輝いて　手を振って
ＢＡＢＹ　ＢＡＢＹ
抱きしめてくれ
かけがえのない愛しいひとよ
 
永遠に生きられるだろうか
永遠に君のために
 
ＢＡＢＹ　ＢＡＢＹ
君を抱きしめていたい
何もかもが輝いて　手を振って
ＢＡＢＹ　ＢＡＢＹ
抱きしめてくれ
かけがえのない愛しいひとよ
 
Don’t know how many times I missed out could hold you.
Don't know how many times I missed out could hold you.
If you someone could cherish me as much as I cherish you...

Original Love - 接吻 (Mittensさん Edit)

Pre-order: https://www.kitchen-label.com/store/no-24-kotonoha-ironomi/

“kotonoha” is ironomi’s 8th album and first ever release on vinyl. A tonal portrait of microscopic nuances particular of a Japanese midsummer saunter through deep emerald green forests and tranquil fields, transcribed into a meditative pastoral reverie created with crystalline piano playing, lute acoustics and real-time processing.

The title “kotonoha” (琹の葉) comes from a poetic anachronistic metaphor, combining form of leaves (葉 ha) and plucked string instruments (琹 koto) depicted in classical antiquity. With a distinctive sound that matches the sonic architecture of Japanese aesthetics, ironomi adds “koto no ha” into their extensive catalog already defined by its uniquely committed minimalism and serenity.

“kotonoha” was originally built on a sequence of four continuous scenes that makes up one long-form composition. The titles of these improvisational pieces (shioribi, namisora, ayumikaze, hagoromo) invoke a literal kind of sensuous, fleeting phenomena. The beauty and charm of these tracks lie in their impressionist fusion with Japanese nature and sensibilities. ironomi’s pieces rarely build and despite their sparse acoustic density, they have a presence that cuts sweetly into the listener’s reality. ironomi created their very own brand of “environmental music”, the literal translation of the Japanese term kankyo ongaku (環境音楽) - music designed to harmonise with, rather than dominate, its natural surroundings. In the specific spatial context of “kotonha”, the record heals the aural sense away from our jangling cities and restless daily environments.

The album includes two additional compositions “tsukishirube” and “maigo”, the latter being regularly featured as the concluding passage that brings ironomi’s live performances to an end. The expanded cadence remained a firm fan-favourite since 2010 and now documented in recording for the first time.

ironomi releases “kotonoha” on 30 August 2019 via KITCHEN. LABEL worldwide. Available on limited edition translucent green vinyl LP (Estimated shipping: 29 Sep 2019), CD and digital formats, with artwork by Tokyo-based photographer Yoichi Onoda. This record is mastered by Gen Tanabe at Studio Camel House in Yamanashi, Japan.

"Music for a Cure"
I am a singer / electronic music artist from Tokyo living with dissociative amnesia. Due to my condition, my concentration and stamina have weakened, making it difficult to sing or do desk work as I once did. Even so, I continue to create music. This process is my own form of healing, and I pray that my songs may become an umbrella, shielding someone from the rain of sorrow and suffering that pours down on them.

【治癒のための音楽】
私は東京のシンガー／エレクトロニカ・アーティストです。
現在、精神的な疾患に悩まされており、症状の影響で集中力や体力が低下し、かつてのように歌ったりデスクワークをしたりすることが難しくなりました。
それでも私は生きるため、音楽を作り続けています。このプロセスが私自身の癒しとなり、そして私のうたが誰かにとって、降りそそぐ悲しみや苦しみから庇う傘となることを願っています。
やまない雨がないように、あけない夜がないように。
