Composed from environmental sound and pump organ.
Recorded and composed in Tokyo 2006.
Yui Onodera is composer and multi instrumentalist. Minimalism and
static electro acoustic works is produced by processing of the
computer. Environmental sound and concrete sound by field
recording, electronics, voice and the instrumental sound are used
as a sound source for those works. In 2003, he founded electronic
experimental music label CRITICAL PATH. And it organize of a lot
of experimental music events. In addition, he is composing the
sound track for experimental film, and the sound design for
contemporary dance and butoh.
Yui Onodera first attracted attention with work released on his
own Critical Path label in 2005. It wasn't too long after, that he
attracted the attention of Drone Records, and/OAR, Mystery Sea,
Taalem and Gears Of Sand (releases still forthcoming on Mystery
Sea and Gears Of Sand).
Suisei is a work composed from field recordings and pump organ.
Edited and re-mastered by Dale Lloyd.
With Suisei, each listener's inner cinema will find its camera
lens slowly panning and cross-fading from one enigmatic location
to another, as if unveiling ambiguous visual clues pertaining to
some wondrous culminating event that many might not fully
understand, yet it will still manage to leave an indelible
impression upon the subconscious mind and a very subtle pull
on the emotions. A mystery drone soundscape journey along
the shores of an unfathomable glistening sea...
Packaged in four color digipak.
Very limited at 300 copies.
"Suisei is a composition by Yui Onodera that I like very much.
Almost tactile like use drone material, a seeming mix of
environmental and instrumental sounds (water seems to be a key
element, and a pump organ is mentioned). The piece build slowly
and inexorably, with a nice sense of pacing. We might think it is
over after about a half an hour but happily the work continues
even beyond. We never know where the composer is leading us, but
we are happy to find ourselves there."

"In general terms there are two ways of approaching a new product
when starting to review. First is to take it face value: is the
music good? And take nothing else in account. The other is to take
the rest of what the musician in account and/or place it in a
larger reference. Is it good what he does now, and in what way
fits this his work, and how does it relate to what else is done in
similar direction. If you paid attention over the last twenty-two
years (Vital started in 1986 as a magazine), then you know I am
very much a reviewer that searches for the second approach: is it
new, how does it relate to the rest of the work and the scene
where we can find the artist in. This is a long introduction,
which could no doubt be longer, about these two new works by Yui
Onodera. We have reviewed him before and we learned to know him as
someone who treats field recordings on his computer in minimal,
sketch like soundscapes with little movements per piece. On
'Suisei' he has only one, forty minute piece, 'composed from
environmental sound and pump organ' and it fits what he know of
him. Despite being one piece, it has various parts through he
moves. Whatever environmental sound is in there is hard to tell,
save perhaps for some rain sounds and also the pump organ is
heavily treated. In the world of Onodera nothing new under the
sun, and something can be said of his role in the endless amount
of 'field recording computer/microsound artists'. When we look
from it the first approach of reviewing, then this is a great
work. Calm, quiet, moving, atmospheric: non harsh ambient/drone
music of a refined nature. About 'Rhizome' we can pretty much say
the same thing when it comes to the first approach of reviewing,
except that it's divided here into seven different pieces, like
some of his previous releases. Shorter pieces, a bit more loop
based than 'Suisei', but throughout - again - no news. No big
deal, since it's beautiful too - the kind of music I play a lot.
Onodera here uses, besides the field recordings, piano,
electronics, guitar and voice - and some of these are clearly
recognizable, unlike the pumporgan on 'Suisei'. A very fine work
also this one, but for thrill seekers finding out new movements in
microsound, this is all perhaps a bit too much of commonplace."
