Aoki Takamasa - Ununtrium/RN-Rhythm-Variations

Ununtrium/RN-Rhythm-Variations by Aoki Takamasa

4...according to our on Thu 15 Oct, 2009.

Vinyl on Raster Noton doesn't come around all that often... Here I have the third 12 in the labels UnUn series and it's 'Ununtrium/RN-Rhythm-Variations' from Aoki Takamasa who used to have stuff out on Progressive form back in the early 2000's. It's a decent EP actually with its repetitive, slightly awkward hypnotic machine grooves. at first you kind of think all the rhythms are a bit off kilter but once you get in there you find your self wiggling about to the sheer funkiness. All the elements are tweaked to maximum crisp and crunchiness and I dare say this is super good fun. The press release confuses me though: "however, in a word the respect and the inquiring mind to the root existence of the art expression of music keeps flowing incessantly" erm yeah, right, okay hmm.... Where did I leave my brain???

Aoki was born 1976 osaka and is presently resident in berlin, germany. he has been releasing music since 2001 and ever since has been reviewing his personal methodology whilst actively creating sounds based mainly on computer/software. aoki is an energetic artist vigorously expanding the limits of original musical expression. he enthusiastically pursues an expansive variety of techniques of expression via a broad array of software and hardware. the rhythm and groove created by driving the cpu to the max may seem extreme. however, in a word the respect and the inquiring mind to the root existence of the art expression of music keeps flowing incessantly.
