HYPERNATURAL # 3

Rappel discographique.

"In canvassing the not so small matter of oblivion, Yoshio Machida brings his Hypernatural series to an end. The project was taken up in the first place as an attempt to express the whole theme of nature through sound collage - part one being about memory in Eastern Asia and part two about transparent existence. Even if the album falls well short of such lofty heights, there is little denying that Machida is a fine symphonist of fragments, snaring the most evanescent of sonic events and setting them in constantly evolving and richly expressive motion. Pieces develop from a single pulse or small clutch of percussive rattles into a twitching tapestry of inextricably intertwined high-register lines while the remaining space is flooded with spectral howls and a warped and wondrous oceanic vibe." http://www.cyclicdefrost.com/blog/?p=1870
