Koji Asano • Octopus Balloons CD

After an album of string duets (Spherical Moss Factory) and a hiatus that lasted a few months, Koji Asano came back with January Rainbow, a CD comprising a single 64-minute piece. January Number 28 in Koji Asano's catalog is surprisingly short. Octopus Balloons presents a single piece -- the artist's norm -- of 33 and a half minutes. This piece is as challenging and tough on the ears as most of his other works. On the noisy end of Asano's spectrum, it consists of buzzing and humming sounds of an electrical kind, processed to produce that grainy and hovering microtonal feel that has become associated with the man's music. After an introductory outburst followed by a short silence, you are treated to a continuous movement of layers upon layers of those sounds. Density is the main factor of change throughout the piece: more layers equals louder and more dizzying textures, while few layers translates to softer, quieter soundscapes. A wide stereo separation, with events often happening in one channel only, augments the sense of alienation considerably. This piece shares affinities with A Secret Path of Rain, Quoted Landscape, A Second Dam, or even the Last Shade of Evening Falls series (minus its faint melodic component).
