Tokyo trip-ambient unit UNKNOWN ME make transportive vignettes with minimal means: soft-focus static, translucent loops, muted metronomes, field recordings. Comprised of DJ / producer Yakenohara, radloop label boss P-RUFF, electronic texturalist H. Takahashi (Constellation Tatsu, Where To Now?, birdFriend), and art director Osawa Yudai, the group’s sophomore offering, subtropics, furthers the fantasy Zen garden miniatures of their 2016 debut, sunday void. Whereas that collection themed itself as an innerspace voyage of domestic leisure, their latest journeys outward, 
a lucidly dreamed globe-trot across continents, cities, and coastlines. Dazed tones spiral gracefully against hushed backdrops of floating chimes, distant wildlife, and prismatic vapor. These are less songs than spaces, blissed synthetic bio-domes awaiting habitation. Eight illusions of worlds unrealized, pleasures UNKNOWN.

東京のトリップ・アンビエント・ユニット「UNKOWN ME」が、"ソフトフォーカスされた静寂性、半透明なループ、ミュートされたメトロノーム、フィールド・レコーディング”といったミニマルな手段で、リスナーを快楽の世界へといざなう。

「UNKNOWN ME」は、DJ・プロデューサーのやけのはら、radloopレーベル主宰P-RUFF、Constellation Tatsu、Where To Now?、birdFriendから電子音楽作品をリリースしているH.TAKAHASHI、アート・ディレクターのOsawa Yudaiによって構成されており、グループとして2本目の贈り物である「subtropics」は、かれらの2016年のデビュー作"sunday void”が持つ、ファンタジーな禅庭園のミニチュア的世界観から更に歩を進めている。

前作が国内でのインナー・スペース・トリップをテーマにしている一方で、最新作では、明晰夢的に大陸・街・海岸線を越えて、世界を旅して回る外側に向けた作品となっている。浮遊するチャイム、遠くで聞こえる野生生物の鳴き声、プリズム色の蒸気といった静寂の背景に対し、螺旋状に連なる優雅で幻惑的な音。宇宙ほど大きくなく、居住待ちの至福な人工ビオドームのような曲達。”UNKNOWNな”快楽、未知の世界へいざなう8つのイリュージョン。

UNKNOWN ME - subtropics (Snippet of Cassette) / NOT NOT FUN (NNF334)

The school bell rang with an abrupt roar and the students leapt to attention. All but one that is. At the back of the class sat a young boy, fast asleep, with his head in hands upon the dusty old desk. Even the screech of chairs upon the linoleum floor did not stir him from his subdued slumber. He was going to stay behind long before the requirements of the school day, the quiet classroom was a haven amidst the outside world, so full of chaos and noise.  

Pyramid Club are the latest to release on the ever consistent Unknown Precept. They deliver a five track EP for the label feature low slung electronics and a DIY sensibility.

Pre-order 'All Together Again' on LP/CD/DL: http://phonofile.link/all-together-again

There is no end to composer Peter Broderick’s creative output, and so we present to you his new album titled 'All Together Again' — available worldwide on November 17th 2017 via Erased Tapes. 

Words from Peter, October 2017:

"Ever since I started releasing records in 2007 (10 years ago now!), people have contacted me periodically to ask if I’d be interested in making music to accompany their projects. Most of these projects have been things like films, dance pieces and theatre plays . . . but every so often I get the odd request for something a little different. Peter, would you write a song for my wedding? My one year anniversary? A ferry boat ride?

In early 2015 I was asked to perform 12 minutes of music during a runway show as part of New York Fashion Week. I agreed and began composing a 12-minute piece which I could perform on my own with a few different instruments and some looping pedals. I made a recording of the piece and sent it over to my contacts at the fashion show . . . but a few days before I was to fly out to New York, they wrote back and told me they actually just wanted me to play a few older songs that they were already familiar with. Feeling slightly disappointed, I shelved the other piece, giving it the title If I Were A Runway Model.

It is with great pleasure that I now present this piece in a collection of commissioned works spanning the last decade . . . it’s All Together Again. This group of oddball works does indeed include a couple pieces written for weddings (Our Future In Wedlock and The Walk), and a song someone asked me to write as a gift for his wife on their first year wedding anniversary (Emily). And indeed, there’s a 17-minute piece written to accompany a ferry boat ride in Istanbul (A Ride On The Bosphorus). A few of the pieces were written for films (Robbie’s Song, Atlantic and Seeing Things), and one for a kind of interactive installation (Unsung Heroes).

In my early days of recording, I took pride in playing all the different instruments myself and doing the recording myself as well. And then at some point I started branching out, working with other musicians and recording engineers. But this record is very dear to me in that it’s a return to that original approach . . . playing all the different instruments myself, working with my limits on each one, and my own limits in recording and mixing. I’ve always held a broad curiosity for all different instruments and all different styles of music, and if nothing else I hope this record will portray that curiosity, and my pure love for this thing we call music. Can you dig it?"

The cover art was made by Peter himself in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, by cutting and sticking different coloured paper fragments to depict the individuality of each track.
