...this time I used recordings while placing myself at the edge of things. [...] it was all about capturing sounds that flow from the middle of a place (like the large office I work in) and merge with those on the outside. It's also about how documents, whether photographs, text, or audio evolve over time, taking in elements of the margins of life, and sometimes editing, and even destroying them.

Release date: 19.06.2015


music inspired by stories from Japanese Noh dramas
an ambient mix of electronics, radio snippets, drones, and acoustic recordings


1. scatter echoes from each pylon
2. by wave lanes we came a far, far journey
3. lost to view #1
4. obliged to raise a delicate subject
5. lightless valleys, cleft to awful depths
6. a frightened bird, as darkness falls
7. lost to view #2

Japanese: ...You know that the Japanese stage is empty.
Inquirer: That emptiness demands uncommon concentration.
Japanese: Thanks to that concentration, only a slight additional gesture on the actor's part is required to cause mighty things to appear out of a strange stillness.
