All those tiny, almost insignificant noises you hear in your daily life are raised to a near-obscene volume. This is a giant sea of sound. Only the guitar reminds you that this is a composition, as its ambient quality makes the sound lean towards field recordings. Hiroki Sasajima allows the recording to evolve naturally, showing off the splendor and oftentimes elegance of the sound itself.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "> The transitions from one sound to the next are extraordinarily gradual. Eventually the amount of underlying tension breaks into elegant passages, such as the period around the ten minute mark where the background noises are blocked out for a vaguely classical drone. I’m heavily reminded of dark, isolationist work such as Illusion of Safety’s more recent work. “Bells” never gets outright violent or noisy, but the threat always exists for such an explosion of sound. </div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "> Around the twenty minute mark Bells gets tender. Tones slowly relax. Background noises become prevalent once more. Everything appears to slow down, to drop in intensity before the loud ending coda. What ends this album is a vibrating, near gong-like sound which sort of shocked me out of the complacency of the ten minutes of bliss. </div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "> Hiroki has an album which spans several different moods: from surreal to tense to mellow to an ending shock. Considering its short length and gradual passage (the album does move slowly) this is quite an accomplishment. “Bells” is best when played loud.</div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><a href="http://beachsloth.blogspot.com/2011/12/hiroki-sasajima-bells-72.html">Beach Sloth</a></div></span></div>Ahora Eterno Recordingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01552055383156864335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691423040984721.post-17831027470902124662011-12-07T01:34:00.000-08:002011-12-07T01:41:25.407-08:00A review from ATTN:Magazine<p style="text-align: right; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "></p><h2 class="entry-title" style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 20px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; font-weight: 400; font-size: 30px; color: gray; display: inline; float: left; width: 280px; line-height: 1em; "><span class="Apple-style-span">Review: Hiroki Sasajima – Bells</span></h2><div class="excerpt" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; color: silver; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; width: 280px; "><p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 18px; "><span class="Apple-style-span">Drones and tones are coaxed out of the rustle of field recordings in this 36-minute piece on Ahora Eterno</span></p></div><p></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span class="Apple-style-span" >As the blur of tones mutates and blends between harmonic shapes, <em style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Bells </em>changes from billowy ambient clouds into restless storms of noise, and then on into turbulent hums of microphone feedback. The presence of sound is a constant, but the atmosphere is not; one thing Sasajima accomplishes very effectively is the reconstruction of one landscape to form a juxtaposing one, and this 36-minute track is capable of feeling like music-centric drone at one moment and a toneless stretch of field recording the next.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span class="Apple-style-span" >Although some states are infinitely more intriguing than others.

Similar to his previous and outstanding work for Dragon’s Eye this has a knack of sounding imperfect, yet perfect at the same time… the occasional hint of dissonance, a clashing note here and there, but always with a melodious feel that swathes everything in a very human warmth.</span></span></span></p><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 25px; text-align: justify; "><span style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; "><span style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span">Sometimes guitar-based, sometimes electronic, the music is often accompanied by natural sound recordings and, in fact, my highlight of the album is the utterly magnificent ‘The Hauntingshell I’ which features a heavy dose of field recordings. Wind and clattering metal meld together to create a mini 5-minute narrative that allows the imagination to run riot picturing exactly where the recordings were taken. I favour a desolate arctic environment, although I could equally imagine a desert-scape with windswept dunes and rocky crags.</span></span></span></p><p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;
