多次與日本新銳影像工作者土屋貴史合作配樂的東京音樂人aus(Yasuhiko Fukuzono),擅長以純熟的聲音處理技巧,解構electronic pop:流行音樂的和聲與意圖被簡化再簡化至微小顆粒,電子聲響如細紗網住了綻放的旋律,呈現細節與全景的迷人對比。加上維也納音樂人Glim、日本女電音創作人Cokiyu助陣,這張《Light In August, Later》充分展示aus不只是一位出色的作曲家,還是一位傑出的聲音雕塑家。
Light In August, Later is the latest work from Tokyo based musician and composer aus (Yasuhiko Fukuzono). It's a measured and paced collection of pieces that evoke warm visions of open plains, sun causing mirages to gather on the ground. In this vision the detail of the environment close at hand somehow becomes united with the epic horizon laid out beyond it. It is in fact this relationship between focused detail and sweeping texture that is at the very heart of this edition. Matching cycled melodic passages with tiny electronic clicks and tones, aus generates a music that borrows the harmonic intent of pop but reduces it to a fine grain. Melodies blossom, are swept up in a gauze of processing and become transformed into something exquisitely intimate and engaging.
Collaborating with Viennese musician Glim on two pieces, and joined by artists such as Cokiyu on others, this is a record that speaks to aus's abilities not only as a composer, but also a sound crafter of the highest order. An essential and compelling deconstruction of electronic infused pop by one of Japan's most impressive young artists.
About the Artist: aus is the solo project of Tokyo-based Yasuhiko Fukuzono, who has been composing music for experimental film works since he was a teenager. His 2006 release "Sonorapid” is a modern bedroom pop album that gorgeously exhibits the synchronization of beautiful electronic sounds with dazzling vocals, intertwined by subtle beats programming. aus performed in Sonarsound Tokyo 2006, which is the satellite event of the world’s largest cutting-edge electronic music event in Spain. So far, he has crafted some of his most beautiful compositions for the 6 short films and movies shot by Takafumi Tsuchiya.
