Comment: there
has been around one proverb by a nation: speaking can be considered
as silver but muteness is gold. Indeed, if you have nothing
reasonable to say then gently shut up your mouth and produce
something even more beautiful – music. The Japanese artist's
6-notch release is a blissful touch of refined techno rhythms and
more abstract pulsations and general electronic explorations. Indeed,
minimalism as an approach and methodology is predominant over there.
Takahiro Mukai takes enough time within the tracks for himself to
fulfil his introverted ideas – indeed, it seems to me that his
ideas are directed inside, it is rather contemplative than
manipulating overtly with listeners' emotions. On the other side, one
cannot exclude different sort of impressions either. He exploits
custom-built circuit-bent devices to build up at times abrasive, at
times more hushed compositions. There can be drawn parallels upon
more abstract and cerebral (meta)-krautrockers like Konrad
Schnitzler, and Asmus Tietchens. For instance,
#412, and
#413
are krautrock-driven though in an indirect sense. Indeed, it is a
best part of music if the forms and formats are not taken up directly
but using secondary variables and different sorts of extractions. The
outing is a bit in the discography of Mahorka.
