Eadonmm: “Recollection”

関西のINNITに関してはここでも繰り返し取り上げていますが、INNIT以外でも関西の勢いを表すパーティーを紹介します。IdleMomentsは日本の新しいサウンドを作っているクリエーター達を集合させる事を目的としたパーティーです。オーガナイザーワダシンヤさんはEadonmmというアーティスト名でも活動しており彼の音楽は一般的なダンスポップミュージックとは一線を画する陰鬱で退廃的な世界観を表した物となっています。彼の楽曲Recollectionの鳥のさえずりの様なエコーの声、冷たい空気感を持ったシンセ、そしてちりばめられたビートなどは催眠的な独特な音の世界を作り出しています。試聴は以下から

Eadonmm: “Recollection”

I write a lot about INNIT here, but Kansai has another electronic-music party doing interesting stuff too. It’s called IdleMoments, and the event aims at bringing together those “who advocate for a new sound in Japan.” Organizer Shinya Wada records under the moniker Eadonmm, and his tracks hint at the artistic space IdleMoments allows. Specifically, it gets disorienting and new song “Recollection” is a prime example of this approach. It opens with far-off, shadowy sounds, icy synths grazing over the top. From that point, the song inverts on itself – the beat is sparse, the vocals are strange echo chirps, the synths just sorta glow at the center of everything and pull every other sound around it. This is what I imagine the sonic equivalent of being a moth drawn towards a bright light is. Critically, there is enough going on inside this jumbled ball of a song to become hypnotizing.
