..:: RELEASE NOTES ::..
onitor is very proud to announce our next release: "Tokyo", the
new Album CD by Guitar (Michael L?ckner,
Digital Jockey / Computerjockeys) with the voice of Ayako Akashiba
will be available February 17th, 2006 (in
Germany, February 20th worldwide).
The project Guitar is dedicated to the sound of Guitars. After the
"My Bloody Valentine" - inspired "Sunkissed" in
2002 and the Japan only release "Honeysky" featuring Country-Music
Guitars and Bluegrass Banjo Hillbilly
Attacks, "Tokyo" brings the sound of Koto and Pipa guitars and is
a wonderful homage to the City of Tokyo.
The first Guitar album called ôSunkissedö was released on Morr
Music in 2002. L?ckners initial idea to work with
Guitar loops and - in this case - that specific "My Bloody
Valentine" (MBV) sound setting was the absence of a
sequel to MBV's fantastic "Loveless". L?ckner, a very big MBV fan
himself, tried to make one û or at least work out
an interpretation of what he felt might take his understanding of
Kevin Shields music further and combine it with the
specific means of him being a musician in the fields of electronic
music.
Since then, Guitar is about àguitars. The musical technique:
Layering. L?ckner is cutting out original guitar
sounds, duplicates them, modifies them and gives them a new shape.
The result is surprising yet obvious: Not only
does L?ckner move sound samples to his own music, doing so he is
also able to catch the mood of the genre
without having to duplicate all of it's attitude. Picking out the
raisins you may call it! Listening to the Wall of Sound
in "Sunkissed" will sound familiar to you. The power and the
energy is there, you can almost see all the little gigs
you went to back in the 90's, when your favorite indie-band toured
the smallest venues all over the country. But this
time it's in an electronic environment where you never met it
before. In "Honeysky" you can catch some very
country-esk atmospheres: loneliness, a sense of open space and
yearning, but hey, not a single cowboy in sight!
The new CD "Tokyo" picks up traditional Japanese Music, the Sound
of Pipa and Koto Guitars, the unfamiliar
atmosphere a city like Tokyo might show to Europeans at a first
glance. L?ckner spent some time in Tokyo when
he played the Sonar Sound Tokyo in late 2004 and he fell in love
with this city instantly. ôTokyoö is built up around
the magnifying voice of Ayako Akashiba û a voice you may know from
a track on the Computerjockeys album
ôPlanktonö and from "Sunkissedô. L?ckner met Ayako through the
helping hand of Regina Jansen (Donna Regina).
Most of the music on "Tokyo" was produced during these weeks in
Japan. L?ckner and Akashiba continued to
work on the music during the first half of 2005 û now with the
feeling being a band rather then a one time music
project relation. "Tokyo" is a perfect mixture of western pop
music, eastern spirituality, impressions of the lively and
pulsing Megacity Tokyo and the deep Love for Music, Atmosphere and
Melodies L?ckner and Akashiba do share.
Both artists are avialble for interviews.
