CRZKNY Teams Up With Sima Kim And Analog Sonyeon For “Make Noise”

Lot of borders being crossed with this song, co-created by CRZKNY and Sima Kim, and featuring a guest appearance by Seoul rapper Analog Sonyeon. Reflecting how many people are involved in “Make Noise,” the song is fittingly frantic, moving forward on the footwork-style beat CRZKNY fancies, but also fitting in some of the woozier electronic sounds you’d expect from one of Sima Kim’s creations. Analog Sonyeon zips through all of it, and when the song goes extra hard at times, he follows suits to make sure “Make Noise’s” vocals always have the same punch as the music. Listen above.

    Pretty easily classified as indie-pop, right? Exhibit A being, uh, that twee-tastic name.

So yeah – indie pop. Yet this four-piece works in some…

  • mus.hiba Teams Up With Calum Bowen For “Winter Valentine”

    “Winter Valentine”を説明するにはいくつかのアプローチ方法があります。ボーカロイド好きのアーティストmus.hibaとBrightonを拠点とするゲーム音楽プロデューサーCalum Bowenのコラボレーション作品なのですが、国内外でのコラボでは最先端と言えるのでは(例えばi-flsとmus.hibaとZoom LensだったりCokiyuとBathsだったり)。この曲ではmus.hibaによる雪歌ユフの声と、(おそらく)人間の歌声がデュエットしています。こういう事もボーカロイドの持つポテンシャルと言えるでしょう。が、そんなうんちくを抜きにしても”Winter Valentine”は素晴らしい。9-Bit Blizzardというコンピに収録されているのですが、mus.hibaの “Magical Fizzy Drink”と同様に、ゲームぽさを匂わせつつも、それはほんのディテールであって全てではない。始まりは愛らしい子供時代のような雰囲気で2人のボーカルが交互に歌います。まるで星のカービィのような世界観なのですが、ここからは素晴らしい展開が。mus.hibaとBowenの両者が多くのアイディアを出したというのが聴いていてわかる程アイディアに満ちていて、1つのネタに留まらず、様々な方向に移行していくメロディが圧巻です。コラボレーションとはこういう事でしょう?試聴は以下から。
