Inspired by a small statue of Buddha in the hatakeyama's house neighboring temple, “Magical Imaginary Child“ is the first collaborative recording between Hatakeyama and Durand. Sourced from only an electric guitar (Chihei Hatakeyama) and cassette tape (Federico Durand).this album recorded on March 2014 in hatakeyama's house during Federico Durand Japan tour.These four works are true meditations and poetic sounds. 

Chihei HatakeyamaとFederico Durandの初のコラボレーションアルバムが遂に完成。Federico Durandの演奏するカセゥトテープと、Chihei Hatakeyamaのエレクトリックギターのみで作曲された本作は彼ら自身が語るように、詩的で、情景的な音像を描く。淡い水彩の単色画のような音色は儚さの中に強さを抱くような、まさに『秘すれば花』とで言えそうな哲学的な深さを感じさせる。録音当日の朝、二人は畠山の家の近くの古いお寺を散歩していた、そこで出会った『幻覚童子』という仏像からインスピレーションを受けた本作はMagical Imaginary Childと名付けられ、これから生まれてくる子供達に捧げられた作品となった。

He also released album as Melodia (collaboration with Tomoyoshi Date from Optiope) and Every Hidden Color (collaboration with Nicholas Szczepanik).

Taken from PERILS - S/T (Pathway010)
PERILS is Benoît Pioulard and Kyle Bobby Dunn.

Mutual admirers of each other’s work, Thomas Meluch (Benoît Pioulard) and Kyle Dunn (Kyle Bobby Dunn) endeavored to put together a collaborative recording that ruminates on painful realities, disappointments, and transitioning to new homes, in the hopes of finding a coping mechanism to bring them through to the other side.
PERILS began auspiciously in 2012 at transitional points in these artists’ lives. Kyle was living in a small town called
Belleville, Ontario trying to complete Kyle Bobby Dunn and The Infinite Sadness (Students of Decay) and coming to grips
with the fact that this great endeavor was at its end. Given the enormity of the record and the emotionally and physically
exhausting process of recording the album, Kyle found himself drained with unforeseen questions and confusions. Working only at night, Kyle immersed himself into this newfound nocturnal work, finding a path in the midst of wondering. Thomas, meanwhile, was in a state of literal transition: uprooting from the UK and relocating to Seattle during the recording process of PERILS. In a state of flux, nearly drowning under the anxieties of living on uncertain ground, Thomas channeled these emotions into musical escapades. Thomas recorded in his spare moments, sending sonic puzzle pieces one by one to Kyle, who would in turn explore the musical sentiments Thomas had shared, adding his own billowing sounds to the seething mix.
The ten pieces created for this release are culled from a poutine- and whisky-fueled trudge through the dark corridors of an as-yet undiscovered or possibly imaginary mystic temple. Commencing with the shimmering guitar and tape loops of “Colours Hide My Face,” the album crawls out of the grooves with a slow-churning turmoil, coaxing the listener to embark along its path. The dirge-like guitar clang and vocals of “(Dead in the) Creekbed Blues” could be an 18th century blues standard emitted from a buried radio. On PERILS, Thomas Meluch and Kyle Bobby Dunn lock arms and together chart the upheaval in their lives to bridge the liminal gulf between the once-was and the soon-to-be.

SOUND SEA SOUND WATER

海から聴こえてくるのは
水面に映る空と
風が運ぶ波の音

水が伝えてくれるのは
輝く波が雲になり
豊かな雨が私たちを潤すこと

かつて生まれた言葉
新しい時代 ”new age” となった今
どんな時にも
すこやかな海を感じさせてくれる
この大きな懐のような場所で
海への憧れと
そこに還ってゆくものに想いを馳せ
心のままに響かせてみたいと思います

chihei hatakeyama was influenced by Fudaraku-tokai.
it is a form of the ascetic practice of sacrifice 
performed in medieval Japan.
A monk undertaking this practice would set out to 
sea in a small, single-sailed (but oar-less and rudderless) 
boat in the hope of arriving at the southern paradise 
of the Bodhisattva of Compassion (Avalokitesvara; Guanyin; Kannon). 
the fudaraku tokai was carried out over twenty times between 
the eleventh and seventeenth centuries.
chihei hatakeyama used only one sound file for making this album.
it is came from old vinyl.
chihei hatakeyama bought it at a small record shop in a bargain sale.
