shokyo ontei (usa) #shokyo2hasegawa-shizuo “lift” compact disc | january 2010 release ; a single 45-minute improvisation from hasegawa hirotomo & uchida shizuo ...
quite different from the last thing of theirs we had (the haang-niap label “i know a chord ...” disc - not to mention the kito mizukumi rouber lps/discs in which they’re both complicit) this is a far more sparse affair, with long sections of silence interspersed with wood-block hits & woozy, pitch-altered keyboard flourish ... neat, transfixing stuff ... |

hasegawa hirotomo and uchida shizuo all instruments.
it was on a night when sleep simply would not come, not matter how long
i sprawled on the grass or how many pages of my book i leafed through.
the black shaggy 'thing' expelled all the breath in its body.
phu phu phuu.
and as it did so, something glowed softly at the crown of its head.
"ahh, what a beautiful light! i should put a hat over it to stop it flying away."
the black shaggy thing took his favourite hat, the one he had hung from
a tree branch, and popped it onto his head.
"perfect." |
hirotomo hasegawa and shizuo uchida. hasegawa was the lead singer of seminal early eighties japanese punk/hardcore group aburadako (greasy octopus), while uchida was a long-term member of haino's nijiumu medieval dream-drone unit. the recording is the result of unedited improvisation. a beatific recording filled with light and avidity.
