Tone
(Ini Itu - 1502) LP $20.00
Using radio, paper, tapes, debris and other objects, the experimental approach of this Japanese sound artist repeats the dismantling, rebuilding, amplification and modulation of tiny sounds throughout seven tracks of delicate and circular meanderings. In Imanishi’s restrained and autumnal ambiance, sounds emerge from nothingness and soon return to it. Evanescent tones display a melancholic sensibility, rooted in the Japanese concepts of wabi-sabi and mono no aware. Calm, austere and enigmatic, this record reminds us that beauty can emerge from ugliness. Edition of 250 with insert.
