*LIMITED TO 100 INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED AND HAND-PACKAGED COPIES FOR THE WORLD -
WE HAVE 50 ONLY SO HURRY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT* With music that's as mysterious,
discreet and lovingly crafted as its individually handmade packaging, this 21-minute 3"CD arrives from
Craig Tattersall's Cotton Goods imprint. In addition to being one half of Remote Viewer and The Boats,
Tattersall has a history of releasing music in idiosyncratic, painstakingly personalised editions (via the
Moteer and Mobeer imprints), and once you get your hands on this wonderful little item, you'll understand
exactly why there aren't too many of these in circulation. Marihiko Hara is the artist behind the sweet
sounds elaborately encased within, gradually emerging from silence via a thick, metallic piano resonance
in the early stages. Interspersing Feldman-esque minimalist keystrokes you'll hear a coarse rush of air - a
pregnant static holding the music together. Slowly and gracefully more fully formed passages rise up,
ambling into earshot alongside spells of micro-electronics. Comparisons with genre touchstones like
Taylor Deupree and Kenneth Kirschner's post_piano project, or Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto's ongoing
collaborations might seem obvious but they aren't entirely invalid. However, there's an easiness on the ear
to all this that removes Hara's material from any sense of austerity, and as the twenty-minute piece
progresses it seems to keep on opening itself up until finally reaching a tactile closing sequence full of field
-recorded rustling and crackle. A lovely, lovely thing and no mistake. Essential Purchase.
