| | Description: | "What have we here? 16 pieces of hard-to-classify music, created during the period 1994-2008, a cornucopia of playful, intelligent, questing and eminently listenable electronic music from Osaka-born artist Hyu, who released two albums on Nobukazu Takemura??s Childisc label, in 1999 and 2002.
Although a member of the turn-of-the-century generation of artists subsumed under the rather vague term ??electronica?, his work stands apart in many ways, particularly in his unique exploration of microtonality, his ability to humanize music technology, and his distinctive trait of combining a light touch and sense of fun with conceptual rigor.
This collection is an intriguing mix of previously unreleased tracks and re-edited versions of previously released pieces. There is a wide range of music here, many of the pieces truly unique: wiggy and wiggly robo-pop, fractured funk, swinging sample assemblages of subtle sensory overload, dynamo-drones, overtone explorations.
All of it distinctive, much of it prescient, all of it rising above the strictures of genre. Hyu??s music is appealing and fun, but driven by a desire to not only create music but to create ways of creating music. This desire, this quest, is clearly audible in all of these tracks, and in the overall excellence of his music.
Available on CD or 2LP with DL. The 2LP features a bonus cover of ??Kaze wo atsumete? by Happy End. A notable feature is the entertaining and enlightening notes, written by Hyu himself. Cover art by Hezu Utsurogi."
- This is a brilliant compilation of archived works by Hyu, a creator from Osaka who has left his works to the legendary Childisc label, which was presided over by the genius Nobukazu Takemura.This is an important archival release alongside Henry Kawahara, Surin Phaksiri, and Cycheouts, a compilation that deciphers the labyrinth of shocking works by Hyu, a creator from Osaka who released works on Nobukazu Takemura's Childisc and other labels from the mid-90s through the 2000s.The compositions are diverse and dazzlingly unique, including microtonal drum techno, robotic pop with human voice synthesis technology, shredding and splitting funk, a collection of swinging samples of sensory overload, a drone quartet of voices and generators, a sine wave as a monad, a quest for outlandish harmonics, atonal piano pieces inspired by literature, J-pop born at the extreme of self-referentiality, and a dazzling array of other works. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
