Yui Onodera
Too Ne
Boomkat Product Review:
Tokyo-based ambient producer and sound artist Yui Onodera reflects Japanese poetry on the delicate "Too Ne", attempting to recreate a feeling of perceived stillness with gentle synths and evocative environmental recordings.
"Too Ne" doesn't get used much in modern Japan, but it's a word that's got a deep history, used in classical Japanese poetry to describe a sound that's far away. This idea of distance is considered by Onodera, is it physical distance or emotional distance, or possibly historical distance? Each track on the album is described by the artist as "almost static", but there's movement if you listen carefully: on the opening piece, that motion is provided by rushing water; on the second composition, it's from vibrating white noise; on the third, from gurgling clicks that sound like water droplets in a vast cavern.
Onodera doesn't make music that needs to dance from the rooftops, with just a few elements he's able to broadcast his intentions and paint within the frame. His subtle, slowly blossoming tracks expand on his theme perfectly, and stick in the mind for longer than most records in this vein right now.
