The first release 2012
… comes from Summons of Shining Ruins.
With “On The Beach” Shinobu gives us five abyssal tracks, each over 10 minutes long. You can hear deep growling guitar melodies, nearly pushed into the background. And there is a constant hiss and noise layer which gives you the feeling of a windy shoreline. With a look at the artwork you can imagine that the acoustic diorama of “On The Beach” is a real elemental and gloomy feeling.
Please enjoy and stay warm.
Update: Now available on sonicsquirrel too.
RB103 is out now!
And December ends with another new release by Saito Koji.
» RB103 – Saito Koji – Guide
His follow-up to the earlier released album “Music” is called “Guide”. The eight tracks are 3 minutes long, the classical radio hit length. The music is very dense. Starting with very distorted, thick and layered sounds shifting to a clear and calmer atmosphere in the end. All pieces are rather short in the field of ambient or drone music but Saito filled the pieces with an enormous richness and concentration. Overtones are swirling around in your head, layer over layer of crackling noise is added to a this warm blanket of sounds.
Have a nice start in 2012 and farewell to a wonderfull 2011.
