I do like these cute 3" foldy jobs in white stamped envelopes on Hibernate. As far as 3" CD's go they look swish!! You'd possibly come to the conclusion that it's some Japanese dude with a name like Haruki but it is indeed a chap called Boris from Ghent in Belgium. Easy mistake to make I guess. Here you get 5 tracks of whacked out drone, field recordings, acoustic instruments and noises all blended together to make a tasty atmospheric treat. As far as drone goes it's busy with plenty going on with what all the found noises and acoustic instruments popping up here and there. Spend some time with it as it does very good indeed on first listen!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The Land that lies behind us: Haruki is the pseudonym of composer/sonic artist Boris Snauwaert from Ghent, Belgium, who creates sonic environments through the precise, meditated amalgamation of a diverse variety of sounds, both musical and non-musical. In any given track Haruki combines any or all sound sources; field recordings, acoustic instruments, acoustic noises, found samples, sampled instruments and so on. Throughout production of the EP, musicality has remained of quintessence to Haruki; the continuous ebb and flow of textures and timbres throughout, the production and evolution of harmony through the treatment of seemingly unrelated sounds and, in places, rhythm becoming much more of a dominant musical element. There are moments of great depth, and contrasting sparse moments; variation between busy polyphony and contrasting single lines, all executed in a faultless manner. The tracks on "The Land That Lies Behind Us" work together as a whole picture, or individually as glimpses of the dark, eerie atmosphere that Haruki has striven to create.
