Minima Moralia

by Chihei Hatakeyama

Overview

Japanese ambient musician Chihei Hatakeyama deals in electronically treated layers of sound from acoustic instruments like vibraphone, guitar, and violin on his debut album, a stately procession of almost imperceptibly changing sonic textures. "Swaying Curtain in the Window" progresses through graceful, chiming tones, interrupted only by ripples of guitar strings, while "Starlight Reflecting on the Surface of the River," one of the album's most consciously electronic pieces, crackles, shimmers, and vibrates with oblique energy.
