and/OAR (via either/OAR) is very pleased to present what is without a
doubt among the very best of both artist's electronic-based work.
Throughout much of this highly charged release, brooding clouds of
swarming tones and drones envelope the listener, either inducing a
hypnotic trance or a deep contemplative listening state.
This work is the result of a mail exchange. At first, Kiyoshi created the
feedback sound in the studio using a suspended microphone, mixer and
some effects. Sometimes drum sticks, steel and wooden chair were used
to influence the sound. Kiyoshi's recorded sound was sent to Kiyoharu who
then processed the materials and edited and mixed the sound with his
own materials.
Kiyoshi Mizutani started his sound career with the noise project Merzbow
until the late 1980s, After leaving Merzbow, Kiyoshi started releasing solo
work under his own name - gradually shifting away from noise to mostly
recording and releasing straight environmental sound documents. Apart
from Kiyoharu Kuwayama and Masami Akita (Merzbow), Kiyoshi has also
collaborated with Daniel Menche and Hideaki Shimada.
Kiyoharu Kuwayama (aka Lethe) is known for creating and recording work
in highly resonant spaces or charged atmospheres (abandoned
warehouses, Shinto temples, etc). Kiyoharu is also known for his
involvement with the duo Kuwayama - Kijima (Kiyoharu Kuwayama: cello,
and Rina Kijima: violin) who are formidable players, so well attuned to
each other that their improvisations cannot be distinguished from highly
complex compositions. With a particular interest in ambient sound and
locations that inspire improvisation, they take advantage of the natural
reverb of each location (under a bridge at night, an abandoned
warehouse), and even change their position while playing to create
beautiful and charged performances.
