Seigo Aoyama :: On The Drift (Audiobulb)

Darker strands mix with lightened pitter-patter tones that simply fade away. These unusually magnetic sonic traverses detail organic, nostalgic, and atmospheric forays that should be absorbed as a whole to even begin to capture its aural glow.

Eleven beatless structures somehow cascade into oblivion

Noted as various scenes colored by memories and experiences drawn through music, Tokyo-based Seigo Aoyama is a multi-talented artist utilizing field recordings, delicate piano keys, and ambient/microsound motifs—providing otherworldly sonic escapes within On The Drift. Treated voice elements and distant, natural soundscapes drift with an air of surreal musical calm. The subtle shifting and effervescent scenery becomes a dreamlike state of flux as eleven beatless structures somehow cascade into oblivion. Darker strands mix with lightened pitter-patter tones that simply fade away. These unusually magnetic sonic traverses detail organic, nostalgic, and atmospheric forays that should be absorbed as a whole to even begin to capture its aural glow. Having studied 20th century composers such as Debussy, Stravinsky, Messiaen, Schaeffer, Cage, and Reich, On The Drift leaves a lasting impression on the senses.
