Untitled #21

from album from last april. 

One thing i don't like about soundcloud is seeing the amplitude of the track while listening. It gets rid of any suspense from the unpredictible future of the track. by seeing it all at once you can see when it goes to the drop or explosion, crescendo or whatever. I'll rather not even see the runtime of a track. Also it propably makes you want to click around more?... whatever

Cor Ardens 07: Eyes of the Amaryllis

Cor Ardens is pleased to introduce the debut release from Eyes of the Amaryllis. The project documents a series of on location musical encounters and conversations between friends Esther Scanlund, Goda Trakumaite, Jesse Dewlow and Jim Strong. On display is a sensitivity to the first gesture, the finger print, the miniature. voice flutters through battery powered electronics competing with the sounds of summer insects in a palette of domestic psychedelia. Ambling not quite aimlessly but always in four somewhat different directions, EotA nurses a compost of sun-dappled experimentalism, whispered folk and shambolic pop. Amplifiers in the tree below circuitries of extension chords which weave patterns on the lawn. Note carefully, the appearance of the dog who drinks lavishly from fresh ceramic. The releases accompanying zine gives the viewer an insight behind the scenes of the album from recording to sourcing of the recycled material for packaging to a whole host of other corollary frolic. From the shared meal to the alien echo, Eyes of the Amaryllis offer a day book synthesized in convivial improvisation.

Paternalism

'A String of Paper Cranes Clenched between My Teeth' is available at https://blankforms.org/publication/kazuki-tomokawa-a-string-of-paper-cranes-clenched-between-my-teeth-lp/, and as part of the Kazuki Tomokawa CD box set at
https://blankforms.org/publication/kazuki-tomokawa-kazuki-tomokawa-1975-1977/.

In a generation of musicians that came of age in postwar Japan, Kazuki Tomokawa stands as a pioneer of radical individualism, with a sound marked by shocking intimacy and blistering honesty. In his third album, A String of Paper Cranes Clenched between My Teeth, released by Harvest Records in 1977, Tomokawa creeps “ever more inward,” as Kiichi Takahara writes in the record’s original introductory text—embracing an attitude pervasive amongst musicians of the time who interrogated the prosaic and the profound alike, eschewing politics and society in favor of an “attitude of total self-containment.”

Tomokawa recorded the album over the course of a month—from August 24 to September 25, 1977—at Tokyo’s famed Onkio Haus studio in the bustling Ginza district. The arrangements, accordingly, are amped up: paired with the Black Panther Orchestra, Tomokawa’s “screaming philosopher” vocals find their match with the orchestra’s electric guitar, bass, piano, tuba, and ground-thumping drums played by the Brain Police’s Toshi Ishizuka—who appears on Tomokawa’s first three records and remains his collaborator to this day.

“This is Kazuki Tomokawa in the flesh,” concludes Takahara. A String of Paper Cranes Clenched between My Teeth is, in Tomokawa’s uncanny way, able to cut through facade and artifice in pursuit of truth. “You call that life?” he heckles, exhausted by the melodrama and nihilism of youth counterculture, “try saying you’re alive!”

Kazuki Tomokawa (b. 1950) is a prolific singer-songwriter from Hachiryu Village (now the town of Mitane) in the Akita Prefecture area of northern Japan. Since his first release in 1975, he has recorded more than thirty albums. The 2010 documentary about his life, La Faute des Fleurs, won the Sound & Vision award at the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, and that same year saw the Japanese release of the book Dreams Die Vigorously Day by Day, a collection of his lyrics spanning forty years. His most recent albums are Vengeance Bourbon (2014) and Gleaming Crayon (2016), both on the Modest Launch label.

Prism Architecture

From yolabmi's Before Your Past Lives, out on Nov.25 on tape and digital:
https://muzaneditions.bandcamp.com/album/before-your-past-lives

"A longtime friend of Muzan, yolabmi's Before Your Past Lives pulls the listener into prehistory (or perhaps pre-existence) with a suite of tracks structured around gently vibrating synths, crisp field recordings, and expertly manipulated samples that fizz and crackle and whirr in rich stereo. Secure your headphones, close your eyes, and think back to before there was a before."
