Kawabata Makoto INUI
3 CD
Third
volume in an acclaimed series by the Acid Mothers Temple leader. INUI
3 focuses on Kawabata's highly personal brand of epic
instrumental drone. Performing on bouzouki, sarangi, electric guitar,
viola, and ECS-101, Makoto emphasizes the gradual build of monumental
sound structures. Running 12 minutes each, "Sui" and "Ken" are darkly
spun tales, with wisps of sound keening over a distant backdrop.
Recalling the Speed Guru's lovely 2001 collaboration with Richard
Youngs, the 47 minute "Fuku" is based on a hypnotic arpeggio plucked
out on the bouzouki over which Gong-style glissando guitar and other
zonked sounds are carefully layered. 3 tracks, 72 mins. CD
