Chihei Hatakeyama - Late Spring - RIYL Harold Budd (R.I.P.)

Japanese musician Chihei Hatakeyama is set to release his new album ‘Late Spring’ on 9th April 2021. An album of a humble nature, ‘Late Spring’ gently unfolds as a shared journeying experience through a series of rich and outstanding encounters. An extract from the liner notes by Nick Luscombe: "For an artist who typically works quickly, Hatakeyama considers Late Spring to be one of the more time-intensive records of his career – he started working on it in 2018, and completed it towards the end of 2020. For Late Spring, Hatakeyama re-examined his approach to musical performance, using a new amplifier and microphone set-up to playback and record his guitar and synthesisers. From the cathedral organ-like opener Breaking Dawn with its sub-aqua resonances, to the subtle drift of the closing track Twilight Sea, this record is a masterpiece of dense and beatific melodies. Drawn from evolving synthesised sounds and shimmering slow motion guitars, it combines these with occasional sonic elements that are best described as evoking computer code running through the veins of the machines like artificial blood." Chihei Hatakeyama is a sound artist, mastering engineer, and record label founder who was born in 1978 and lives in Tokyo. He has performed for years under his given name and also as one half of the electroacoustic duo Opitope alongside Tomoyoshi Date. From his first full-length album ‘Minima Moralia’ (“Excellent�� 8.1 Pitchfork) in 2006, through the subsequent 70+ albums that followed, Hatakeyama has created a mighty canon of work. His catalogue is spread across a number of highly-regarded labels, including Kranky, Room40 and his own White Paddy Mountain imprint. His release rate is unquestionably impressive, but what is even more striking is the continual high quality of each alluring album.

Fun Sites

Chillout is an umbrella term for many different genres and moods, but fundamentally, it's a word for music that has a mellow vibe and a slower tempo (70-100 BPM ). It consists of beats and melodies that invoke imagery of lounging on a beach at sunset, swaying gently in a hammock on a tropical island, or staring up at a star-filled sky on a clear, moonless night. The truth is any amplifiers Clean channel will give you a great platform to start sculpting those spacious sounds and if you do want to get really noisy then switching to the Gain channel will give you some seriously noisy sounds. In Soundation, you can play these sounds on SPC (Hip Hop preset), DrumMachine Aesthetic music video (Kit 8 preset), or use loops from the sound library.

For instance, his song "Black Sands" begins with a repeating guitar melody, which is later mixed together with other loops, such as a double bass loop, drums, hand clapping, and so on. Though all those loops slightly vary in their length, Bonobo has put them together into one whole, creating a full-length track.

Whether it's ambient, chill-out, downtempo or eclectic, the fact is the most prolific practitioners of sunset vibes can't decide what to call it. I play ambient downtempo leftfield world music for the discerning ear,” says a base-covering Pathaan of Stoned Asia renown, while Radio One's Rob Da Bank cops out with a wussy freestyle” and XFM's Nick Luscombe dives for the safety zone of eclectic”.

Allow the drums to sound imperfect, experiment with some old school sounds you like. On macOS, select a drum kit and use musical typing or a connected USB piano keyboard to trigger sounds. This makes it one of the most effective Halloween sounds you will encounter and you might find people are looking around in fear as you play this track.

Every track is a soft, gentle piano piece, like something a character in The English Patient would play in an empty manor house on a rainy day in a flashback. Set up your crates or playlists for the set. Some hospitals are beginning to use ambient music to create a soothing environment for recovering patients.

Memotone - Invisible Cities - as perfectly-realized an expression of Fourth World principles as I’ve ever heard (Diskotopia)

We at Diskotopia are incredibly excited to be presenting the new album Invisible Cities from Memotone, the principal alias for Bristol-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer William Yates. As a solo artist, he has released on labels such as Black Acre, Bedouin, Project Mooncircle, and Brownswood either as Memotone or under his other alias Halfnelson. In addition to doing composition work for film and television, he works as a session musician for the likes of Dmitry Evgrafov, Connie Constance, and Phaeleh. He’s also part of the Avon Terror Corps project helmed by Bokeh Versions, Giant Swan. Noods et al., and is a member of ATC-affiliated Pheasantry Society. His music has been championed on the radio, a key influential medium for Yates growing up, by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft, Nick Luscombe, and more. In 2019, Memotone debuted on Diskotopia with the highly-praised split single Luaka / Sidewise Dub, and we are delighted to be working together with him again for the release of the stunning full-length LP Invisible Cities. Informed by the atmosphere of the Italo Calvino novel of the same name, the ten tracks on Invisible Cities mutably shimmer somewhere between neo-classical-leaning ambient, fourth-world new-age exotica, and post-krautrock OSTs. By intermixing the different timbres of live string and wind instruments with astute synthesizer touches and skittish drum machine strokes, Yates has created an organic and ethereal magnum opus in which a brooding but graceful energy is manipulated into a delicately interwoven narrative. All tracks written & performed by William Yates. Wrapped One Within the Other features the voice of Stac Dowdeswell.
