Meet the voice & performance artist Miwa Momo Hojo and her colleague, the media & sound artist Yuichi Nagao from Tokyo, Japan. The combination of their works is a tidal wave of dense, digital recordings, loaded with compact melodic structures, shifting voice patterns & fuzzy electronic noise. Some of these songs are meandering from improvised acoustic basics to richly layered compositions, some have an almost romantic quality, taking the listener from from gasping emptiness to scratchy indeterminacy. The music by Miwa Momo Hojo & Yuichi Nagao is a breathtaking update to the idea of digital songwriting.
Miwa Momo Hojo, born in 1982 studied Imagine Arts & Sciences at Musashino Art University, Japan. Her solo-works are mainly influenced by traditional japanese music and it’s instruments. Yuichi Nagao studied media/soundart with Christophe Charles at Tokyo Arts University and musicology with the jazz musician Naruyoshi Kikuchi. His solo-works are defined by the search for new musical structures.
The album is available from the Frozen Elephent Music netlabel as separate tracks or a full album zip. The format is 192kbps MP3.

I sondaggi dicono che volete più musica sperimentale incolta ed eccone un po’ (maledizione, debosciati, passate di qui in 400 al giorno (media) e avete votato solo in 16: fate il vostro fott..o dovere e votate cliccando qui).
Miwa Momo Hojo e Yuichi Nagao, entrambi giapponesi, performance & vocal artist la prima, media & sound artist il secondo, sovrappongono suoni elettronici, rumori digitali, moduli ritmici, melodie e patterns vocali a formare un mix stratificato in cui tutti questi elementi si sentono e non si fondono, creando un insieme sorprendente che pende a tratti verso ciascuno dei sui costituenti.
In verità non sono così incolti questi due, ovvero lo sono perché non frequentano le accademie, ma nelle gallerie d’arte li conoscono bene.
Questo album, Kiechimae, è distribuito dalla net-label Frozen Elephent Music e può essere scaricato qui.

non capisco una beneamata bega di musica eppure il brano (e dopo sentirò anche l’album) mi piace parecchiotto: se non è questo sintomo che la musica raggiunge l’emozione senza passare da colterrime elucubrazioni!!(come spesso succede per le arti visuali)
