Comment: I
wrote about Kengo Miyazaki aka Irish`s previous
issue, called Manufactures (2006,
MinusN) for almost four months ago. Similarly to Manufactures Miyazaki continues to explore electronic borders and
churn electronic dark matter by positing electronic rhythms next to
synthesiser induced whiffs, though, both of these compartments are being warped
in a way to create psychedelic sensations and kind of whirling feel. All of that is subject to many stylistic turns and phase and pitch shifts. I cannot
understand is he doing it tongue-in-cheek or having serious attitude. Throughout the course inferior lo-fi sounds are running alongside with “serious”
industrial drones and even epic progressions (the last one third is truly bewitching
of the ending track Welcome Home (Hulot)).
For instance, listen to Broken Smile
and just trying to understand it – is it jungle/drum and bass music or not at
all? If it is the fact then in which way it used to relate to other drum and bass/jungle
artists? Miyazaki as a sonic hooligan used to destroy gravitational
mass around the listener to free him/her to get ascended and veered away. However,
the geniuses are not objects to be judged. Holy shit as you have already understood.
