"I Forgive You" is a sweeping, hauntingly lush track of duplicity. we wanted broadly wanted to have the song feel like a restrained underwater heartbreak - a tale about perfect beings, aliens, being imperfect.

Bio:

Midori Takada is a composer, multi percussionist, and theater artist renowned in Japanese vanguard circles. She will tour Europe this spring.

Midori released two solo albums: "Through The Looking Glass" and "Tree Of Life," and wrote music for Tadashi Suzuki's theater plays. Her hypnotic, minimalist music is based in the concept of coherence between sound and the human body. She performs solo on marimba and other percussion instruments.

She debuted on the scene of Berlin Philharmonic, performing with the RIAS Symphonie-Orchester Berlin just after graduation from Tokyo University of the Arts in 1974. She continued her career with solo concerts in Japan and abroad.

In the 1980s Midori began to explore the traditional music of Asia and Africa. Her fascination resulted in joint projects with Kakraba Lobi from Ghana, Lamine Konte from Senegal, Farafina Band from Burkina Faso, and Korean musicians: zither player Chi Seong-Ja, flute player Won-Il, and saxophone player Kang Tae-Hwan. She also led Mkwaju Ensemble's innovative percussion project and still performs with free-jazz band Ton-Klami with saxophone player Kang Tae-Hwan and jazz pianist Masahiko Satoh.

In the past 20 years, Midori Takada spent more time in theaters than in concert halls – composing and performing for live music for theater. She has worked with Tadashi Suzuki and his Suzuki Company of Toga on their adaptations of "Electra" and "King Lear."

Takada's compositions have a remarkable way of affecting the imagination. Her minimalist, contemplative music is filled with the concept of infinity and reminds of a moon voyage, falling stars, a journey into the ocean, or a walk in the garden. The trans melodies, initially simple, begin to loop and splinter, their rhythm breaking and thickening, slowly drawing the listener into another reality.

Every live performance Midori Takada gives is unique and prepared especially for that occasion.

“My imagination, keeps firing inside…”

fugue is the debut release from blablarism, the solo moniker of Kiev resident Oksana Zmorovytch. Together, these four tracks serve as an ode to the disparate nature of her homeland, where beautiful Stalinist constructions stand side-by-side with Khrushchev's sullen cement-paneled buildings. Drawn from a darkened kaleidoscope of influences that recall elements of goth, post-punk, shoegaze and drone, fugue is a dense composition of plangent guitars, hypnotic bass lines, mournful synth tones and amorphous vocals that create a suitably bleak register. The unrelenting beat of caustic drums throughout ensures the pagan’s lament continues apace.

IDEAL 002 is a reflection of the paralyzing hinterland between fiction and reality, strictly limited to 50 tapes.
