Satsuki Shibano
Pianist
http://www.satsukishibano.com/

Having the distinction of releasing the 3rd Wave Notation series album where the first 2 were albums by Japanese ambient legends, Hiroshi Yoshimura and Satoshi Ashikawa, and also having lived in Paris to study under J. J. Barbier before her recording debut, Satsuki Shibano is not your ordinary, Japanese female pianist. She started her recording career in Japan as an Erik Satie specialist of modern/ contemporary piano based music when Satie’s influence and rediscovery was evident in the evolution of the now discovered golden era of Japanese ambient, environmental music that emerged in 1980s.

She regularly performs live as a solo artist as well as with her collaborator, Yoshio Ojima. She plays with an utmost free, transcendent demeanor during her concerts and in many of the albums that she has recorded over the years.

A graduate of the renowned Toho Gakuen Music Dept., soon after she went to study under Aiko Iguchi at the piano department, musician course of Tokyo College Of Music. And then, she went onto study in France under the tutelage of Erik Satie researcher, poet and pianist, J. J. Barbier where she began her lifelong quest of researching and playing Satie’s works, on albums and in public. Her debut album, a collection of Erik Satie pieces, Wave Notation 3: Erik Satie was released in 1984 through Sound Process Design, a label that Satoshi Ashikawa started. As an expert of Erik Satie in Japan, she has also published many of his compositions’ scores and training books for Japanese publications.

Her latest album is an album that includes Erik Satie’s unreleased masterpiece, Le Fils Des Etoiles which was recorded for the first time in Japan and whose prelude part was only performed previously.

The current focus of attention on Japanese ambient and environmental music has thrusted Shibano’s past works into the ears of a new generation of music fans from around the world. She is currently working on new material with Yoshio Ojima and others as well.

** DIGITAL RELEASE 01/06/2020 - VINYL RELEASE 18/06/2020 **

The Underwater Island is a collection of four tracks from Grenoble based producer Denis Morin. Philosopher, gardener, father and sonic explorer. Our friendship dates back over a decade, with some of this music first shared during a visit to Glasgow almost 5 years to the day - when 12th Isle the label was but an idea. For ISLE009, Vague Imaginaires gifts us with autobiographical field recordings, FM synthesis and skilled sound design inspired by the ocean and the Drac river which flows through the mountains of his city. Harmonising natural sound sources with digital realms, he navigates through minimalism, ambient techno and flashes of dub inspiration. Morin combines these musical ideas with Roland TR-8, 303 emulations, hydrophone recordings and vocal fragments from Tunisia, Morocco and Vercors Massif.
