Takuji Naka / Tim Olive // Minouragatake TAPE

¥1,100
  • Availability:

京都在住の実験音楽家Takuji Nakaと神戸在住の実験音楽家Tim Oliveによる共作がNYのNotice Recordingsより100本限定でリリース。カセットデッキとマグネティックピックアップによる物音スケープ7曲を収録。

Olive and Naka's collaboration pairs two musicians working with lo-/mid-fi sonics and modified/self-made instruments. Through extensive recording and touring, the duo has honed a patient aesthetic, allowing each other's sounds to unfold with minimal, sure-footed interactions, akin to moving along a path up the mountain for which this release is titled. Naka's sources here consist mainly of "long loops of sagging/distressed cassette tape winding into and out of similarly distressed portable tape players, with real-time analog processing." Olive uses magnetic pickups and analog electronics. This leads to sounds of uncertain provenance, playfully emerging from a thick analog haze, building toward surprising, subtle crescendos. This is work that results from, and produces, an active semblance of stillness.
