New exotic ambient
Three years after the release of Naada, retrospectively, Yoshio Machida compiled his steelpan live recordings in Europe and Japan from 2001 to 2008. So far Machida has played for not only his own solo tours but also some festivals like Europhonics, Ring Ring, ISEA2004 and Maerz Musik. Machida's music has been already as known as his CD trilogy "Hypernatural" series, TV spot in France and in DJ Spooky's Rhythm Science. He created music by field recording, sound collage and generative music (introduced by David Toop's Haunted Weather) in the 90s, then shifted to "live performance" music gradually. Influenced by Indian improvised traditional music, he changed his main instrument gong (used as symbol of light in Asia in Hypernatural) to steelpan. For his first tour in Europe in 2002, he made original "un-equal temperament" tuned steelpan by himself. It sounds like Gamelan gong. And he performed steelpan with Max/MSP realtime processing for getting drone sound (like tampura in Indian music) from his steelpan sound. After several endeavors for expressing "live" music with complicated and realtime computer processing, he started to play only acoustic steelpan to realize microtparticulation texture that like computer generated, without computer. This album shows the trail. Transparent atmosphere evoked Satie, Eno, Part and Ambiet. New crossover ground in Jazz, World and Contemporary Music. Digipak.
