From his first full-length album 'Minima Moralia' ("Excellent" 8.1 Pitchfork) in 2006, through the subsequent 70+ albums that followed, Chihei Hatakeyama has created a mighty canon of work. Having collaborated with the likes of Ai Kuwabara, Hiroki Chiba, Kei Matsumaru, Gen Hoshino, Terumasa Hino, Tony Allen, and countless others, Shun Ishiwaka is one of Japan's most prolific modern jazz drummers. Between them they've played across ambient, experimental, electronic, pop, hip-hop, jazz, and metal projects, and that's what this new release represents - a meeting of like-minded musicians with innumerable reference points coming together at an epoch-making juncture to produce an ambient work brimming with creativity and understanding.
