Abenteuer in der Nachbarschaft präsentieren Yasushie
Yamashita & ASUNA + Niels Quak
Yasushie Yamashita & ASUNA
Yasushi Yamashita is the founder of Inoyama Land, a legendary
group in the Japanese ambient music scene. Their music is
currently being re-evaluated in the world, with many of their
records being reissued, and they have recently resumed
performing. ASUNA is known for their performance „100
Keyboards,“ as well as for using a large number of toy
instruments, and for their research and composition of
physical acoustic phenomena.
About 20 years ago, ASUNA had the opportunity to
perform with the Inoyama Land at a small record store in Tokyo
called Enban. Since then, Inoyama Land has participated in a
Casiotone compilation on Asuna’s aotoao label, and they have
exchanged recordings with each other, and many years have
passed since they said they would record together someday.
This year, Yamashita visited Asuna’s show at memorial concert
for Ryuichi Sakamoto, and through mutual acquaintances such as
Italy’s Passepartout Duo, the talks of recording together have
progressed concretely, and the recording in Tokyo has finally
become a reality. Yamashita & Asuna played synthesizers
and toy instruments that they brought with them, exchanging
them with each other, and while leaving the studio door open
to feel the outside air, they played guitars and pianos that
happened to be in the studio, and recorded improvisationally
in a relaxed atmosphere, including performances that they
don’t usually do. The quiet and warm conversation resonated
with the strong and gentle ambience that they have been
walking so far, along with the idyllic wind of spring in
Tokyo. After that, ASUNA edited the album and completed it.
This album was released simultaneously on vinyl and CD by Kanu
Kanu Recordings in Poland and HEADZ in Japan.
Nils Quak
Nils Quak ist überzeugter Dilettant und Amateur. Seine Klänge
irrlichtern irgendwo zwischen kosmischen Forschungsreisen,
Ambient und einem schlechten Acid-Trip im New-Age-Ashram
Gröbenzell: Mal schwebend und leicht, mal dissonant und
schroff sind die Sounds, die aus seinen Synthesizern blubbern.
Turn on, tune in und dann schauen wir mal. Der perfekte
Soundtrack für verregnete Sonntagnachmittage mit den
Schwiegereltern.
