It's been some time since I've posted on this blog and I am happy that topomodesto gave me the opportunity to put together a mix. In the face of algorithm driven mix generation I hope that there continues to be interest in crafting diverse listening experiences. What may start as a matter of convenience easily translates into common practice. Collecting and orchestrating music samples into coherent ideas may be perfected by professional dj's, but I find my interests don't take root until I search out the connections between songs and artists myself. And this invariably leads [...]

Susumu Yokota is an experimental ambient producer hailing from Japan, Oen Sujet is a Montreal collective making some real nice prog-pop stuff. This track featured on the very excellent 'Fear Of A Tiny Mind' compilation, presented by the artists' parent/sister labels Lo Recordings and LOAF Recordings .

So there I was yesterday on the massage table —hypnotic low light, oils and scents, my head in the little hoop. A half hour of absolute physical peace, even the parts where my muscles were being rolled flat. It would've been perfect except for the hokey, faux ethnic sounds piping in from the little ipod stereo. With so much great ambient music in the world, why shortchange the ears when the rest of the body is having such deep attention lavished upon it? I would've been happy with this exquisite tune on repeat. [...]

Susumu Yokota ( 横田進 ) is a Japanese electronic artist with 30+ releases behind him yet; his first full-length album Acid Mt. Fuji was released in 1994, and most recently Mother in 2009. Enjoyed by the likes of Brian Eno, Thom Yorke, Bjork, and Philip Glass, Yokota's music has gone from shifting with the times (early albums being ambient-techno akin to the work of Aphex Twin, shifting towards house music) to becoming utterly transcendental, reaching new heights with Sakura in 1999 and the equally epic [...]
Japanese experimental artist Susumu Yokota has managed to stay away from my ears for a while now, but I was lucky enough to get my hands on his new album Mother . In the past he was primarily known for electronic music with more of a techno feel to it, but with Mother Yokota has reached a plateau that I can only describe as cinematic. Mother feels like a score to a movie or perhaps a modern play or dance performance blending ambient electronics with strings and percussion. It also doesn't hurt that [...]

one of my favorite activities is buying things i've never heard of before, based purely on how they strike me at any point in time. this has applied especially to music, where time and time again i've bought albums on account of their cover art and little else. that's how i got acquainted with the music of susumu yokota in 2000 with his album sakura , which became one of my favorite electronica records at the turn of the century. i still remember picking that one from the shelves at borders because i loved the birds on [...]

Japanese experimental artist Susumu Yokota has a new album, Mother, available now on Lo Recordings. Heralded by the likes of Philip Glass, Brian Eno and Thom Yorke, Yokota describes his latest work as "magnificence and gentle warmth, the album has wistful yet universal feelings and power and it expresses my nostalgia, almost like a lullaby for my heart. This is why I actively included vocal tracks. I asked artists who I respect to collaborate with me to [...]

Spesso si correla la musica ambient a cio che ci circonda, all'atmosfera che crea, ma "Mother" di Susumu Yokota non è un semplice corredo per salotti di intellettuali o per enormi atri fasti di ornamenti, una volta premuto play bastano poche note della prima "Love Tendrilises" per spegnere gli interruttori esterni, cio che ci circonda diventa semplice ornamento alle melodie che catturano il nostro sguardo, lentamente ci staccano dal mondo reale e dilatano il tempo. Costruzioni sonore essenziali, che innalzano lo spirito tanto da farti sentire posseduto da qualche forza naturale, una spinta ad approcciare la natura [...]

Japanese experimental artist Susumu Yokota is offering the song "Tree Surgeon" from his latest album Mother as a free download. I featured another song from that album, the spacey "A Flower White", in an earlier post and described it somewhat as an "an ode to an alien". "Tree Surgeon" pretty much fits the same description, as it sounds like a quirky space ballad from an old school science fiction movie. The female vocals may seem a bit offbeat during the first listen, but I think it adds to the song's character in [...]
