New Taquwami: “The Gathering”

ByPatrick St. Michel

Short: Gahhhhhhhhhh can this EP come out already, this is destorying me.

Long(er): Every taste of the Moyas EP Taquwami shares, the more I want to hear the whole damn thing. He’s taking his time — and in an age where it is easy to just chuck up a bunch of demos and see what sticks, it’s admirable he’s perfecting his work to what he wants it to be — but every bit of it (half of it now!) has just been such a tease. “The Gathering” is the second song from Moyas to pop up online, and it’s a trip. Like…mutant bird squaks leading to fourth-dimension trap? Taquwami has been seeing how far he can push individual sounds as of late, and “The Gathering” is loaded with weird noises that somehow all click into one wonky song. Listen above.

    東京のアーティストRyuuta TakakiのStillness EPにおいて、その定義は後半のトラック”Phantasm”に込められています。始まりはミニマルでリラックスしていて、楽園をシンセサイザーで再現しているかのよう。その音は鳥のさえずりを彷彿とさせていて、速いビートとは妙な違和感が。しかし一分を経過したくらいからは激しいクラブ・サウンドに変貌します。と思ったら…曲は再びアンビエントに。Takakiが静けさと激しさの狭間を追求したEPの絶好のスナップショットと言えるでしょう。タイトルは自然を連想するものが多く（”Under The Water,” “Chill Wind,” “Sleety Rain”等）、ミニマルな構成が特徴的です。でもノイズを活かした、よりダンサブルなトラックなんかもあります。Ryuuta Takakiのスタイルを知るにはうってつけの８曲作品になっています。試聴はこちらから。

  • New Foodman: Oiss EP

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    There are a lot of disorienting moments on juke maker Foodman’s new collection, the Oiss EP. The one that has stuck with me the most so far, though, comes on “Yoru Piku Piku,” a skittery song that’s among the absolute creepiest things the Yokohama producer has ever put forth into the world. The beat moves…
