Comment:
once I read that piano is the most disturbing one among the music instruments.
However, there are plenty of albums which used to proof otherwise. For
instance, Koji Maruyama`s tiny issue Isos
(providing a length of 16 minutes only is a sublime drift between minor chords
and major chords, between rough taps and subtle chord choices, between ruckus
and still life thereby resulting in the emotive content. The artist seems to
exert minimal energy to create a truly organic, picturesque whole for your
sake. At times those facile chords are mixed up with concrete sounds thereby
embracing elements beyond the artificial music compartment (Prelude/Isos). Of course, there is
represented electronic music and synthesised orchestrations though at a minimal
extent (particularly at Land/Weiter).The
favourite of mine is Fluid/Door which
brings forth a dynamic flow and moody changes throughout the composition.
In a word, it is a marvellous bunch of
tracks indeed. The issue is a bit of the discography of the Japanese imprint
Totokoko Records.
