「murmuration」 Trailer

Lovehearts is a cinematic coming-of-age album set on a park bench by the Thames in the year 2000, where one rare Love Heart sweet accidentally predicts the end of a first love. Each track imagines a different future branching from that single moment — the versions where they stay, leave, try, fail, grow up, or grow apart.

Told through alternating voices, soft folk, glitchy pop, and warm London ambience, this album is about timing, almosts, and the small choices that shape an entire life. A nostalgic, modern multiverse of love, loss, and the sweetness of letting go.

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.

ironomi - 光旅 (Feat. haruka nakamura) (niji, 2015) - preview

Taken from the album 'MURMURATIONS' by sonicbrat. Released worldwide on 24 November, 2016 on KITCHEN. LABEL.

Following 2013’s release of the album “Stranger to my room” on KITCHEN. LABEL, the Singapore-based composer returns with his long awaited follow-up album “MURMURATIONS”. “MURMURATIONS” depicts a quiet longing for beauty so distant, one can only see with eyes closed, like a lost wayfarer set out in search of questions without answers. It is constantly transiting and transitioning, suspended in a liminal state.

Drawing inspiration from the natural phenomenon of migratory birds to reflect on one’s own displacing nature in life and estrangement from nature itself, “MURMURATIONS” paints the chimerical journey of an imaginary starling, charting its flight through fabricated landscapes as it inevitably transits in the passage of time.

The album features a series of intimate and introspective compositions recorded entirely on the acoustic piano, employing various miking techniques to extract innate mechanical sounds, wood tensions, natural vibrations on piano soundboard and strings, and using them as the only source of the compositions’ sonic palette.

Tracklist:
1. MURMURATIONS I
2. MURMURATIONS II 
3. MURMURATIONS III 
4. MURMURATIONS IV 
5. MURMURATIONS V 
6. MURMURATIONS VI 
7. MURMURATIONS VII 
8. MURMURATIONS VII 
9. MURMURATIONS IX

This one is from the North. And it is a special one.

Sergey Suokas, a.k.a. Slow, was born in Petrozavodsk, north of Russia. In solo he produces freaky minimal techno as Suokas, ear-friendly melodic electronica as Hot Arctic and atmospheric abstractionism as Slow. Soon after he started his own productions he hooked up with other likeminded people in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and many other cities, which eventually resulting a plenty of great musical connections, including live performances as DJ and musician in Moscos, Petrozavodsk, Norway and other places. Sergey has his works released in various labels around the world, notably on Resting Bell, Multi Vitamins, Metroline and Algorythmik.

This time, we are very proud to be able to invite Sergey to work his magic on one of the most popular tracks in mu-nest’s releases: okamotonoriaki’s “recorder”. In this remix, Sergey decided to keep the flowing structure, but expertly added in some signature polyphonic instruments to give it a truly Slow’s flavour. Sergey started off the remix with the original piano notes while instilling some wonderful elements of minimal techno. Then, slowly like a blossoming flower, the breath-taking drumming from the original track was introduced, but not without some skilful twists all over it. Coupled with Sergey’s self-crafted new guitar lines, melodic polyphonic sounds, and electronic effects, he magically created a whole new atmosphere in this remix, which breathes a new refreshing life into the original track. This is a 7:45 minutes of truly blissful moment. Sit back, open your ears, and enjoy. (mü-nest)
