I think this is one hell of a piece of music. Short, maybe even too short, but I had it on repeat a few times, and every time I discovered something new." [FdW/Vital Weekly] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 More Info listen: https://andrewchalk.bandcamp.com/album/drifting "In 1996, Suzuki worked with Andrew Chalk for the first time. He mailed him a DAT of "unedited pieces, recorded with found objects in his garden", which inspired Chalk to make some spontaneous recordings and a live cassette mix: quite a Lofi recording but forecasting much of their later work. Denis Blackham recently remastered the work, and is now available. Exactly twenty-seven minutes long, this is a relatively loosely organised piece of music. The acoustic sounds are blissfully obscured; for all we know, Suzuki is shuffling through the garden with a rake. There are plants and pots, grass and dirt, and whatever Chalk does remains a mystery. Something electronic is very likely, but that's about it. Maybe he, too, shuffled about and added to the music. I have no idea. The acoustic component is a firm fixture for this piece, and the electronics remain in the background. It's as carefully played as it is mysterious. I think this is one hell of a piece of music. Short, maybe even too short, but I had it on repeat a few times, and every time I discovered something new." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
