This latest release
by Tatsuya Nakakani is a beautiful, transfixing, work
of art. One straight track of 57’34”, no
over dubbing or editing, recorded on July 2007
at H& H Production studio.
The magic begins as a wash of sound
from seeming deep space consciousness blending
a slow paced, but mighty bath of vibratory
surge. Vast like the ocean, these deep and multiple pitched frequencies
emanate from bowing of cymbals. Nakatani is surely the master of bowed
metalics, as he stretches from the sounds of the universe to the
vocalizations and emanations of animals, mysterious voices, seamlessly
appearing from the void, only then does he introduce the distant
drumming, the low thunder of the double bass drums that permeates the
cosmic texture with the double pulse of the heartbeat becoming the
weather of the mind. Seemlessly these rich sound bodies roll and plane
in aural time until the lifting and disappearance of these metallic
vibrations end like a river fading into the distance. A beautiful
masterpiece, an artist creation, boxed in a wallet with fantastic
poitret rendering of Nakatani, graphic design and painting by Carol
Genetti.
