[Vital Weekly] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €5.00 More Info born in 1990, tokyo-based seki takashi is a relative newcomer in the ambient world. with just two previously released cassettes, he delivers subtle and delicate soundscapes based on guitar... taalem.bandcamp.com/album/smog-moon-alm-118 "More guitars can be found on the two pieces by Seki Takashi, born in 1990 and a new voice in this kind of music. He only has two previous cassettes and now the two pieces on ’Smog Moon’. One is sixteen minutes, the other six. As I was playing this I was wondering if it is a wise decision to play this right after the previous Taalem release by Shirotsubaki and Sleepland, as it follows a very similar trajectory into space, be it that the spaceship that holds Takashi is further from earth and we don’t see much detail anymore. The guitar has been melted down to form a more drone-like sound, and it sounds like an organ plus massive reverb and less like a guitar and some effects in the title piece. In ‘Lit Street’ however the guitar is plucked and it sounds suddenly more like one than on the Shirotsubaki and Sleepland release. A drone is there to guide it and it is quite a beautiful shimmering piece of music." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
