about

Takumi Akaishi’s music is like a delicate shadow box garden, a miniature sonic world unto itself. Following the release of his debut LP Music for Hurdy Gurdy (2012) and first cassette tape Naked Tape and Others (2013), Akaishi garnered critical acclaim for his fidelity to the hurdy gurdy mantle, filtered through a uniquely gentle, almost hazy touch. His tracks are interjected with ambient noise culled from the quotidian cityscape, complementing the characteristic “flatness” underpinning his oeuvre. Memoria represents the culmination of six years in incubation, the distillation of experience relived in the form of beautifully distorted memory.

2012年発表の1st LP [Music For Hurdy Gurdy]、2013年発表の1st カセット[Naked Tape And Others]、いずれもハーディーガーディ演奏を中心に構築した作品ながら、柔らかく霞んだ質感、随所に使われた日常の風景音、作品に関与する全ての要素をフラットな位置で捉え、独自の小さな箱庭的世界を作り出した音楽家"赤石拓海"。自身の体験を更に積み上げる様な形で作られた、美しくも歪んだ記憶の描写が続く6年振りの新作[Memoria]。
