█▀░░ PsyCZ group was formed in spring 2001 by its first three members ... ░░▀█
█▀░ But as every group grows and gets new members, new people joined PsyCZ ░▀█
█▀░ to help us in our mission. Our main common loved genere was psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ ... of course, but everone of us likes several more genres. This caused, ░▀█
█▀░ that several members began to demand releasing other music styles such ░▀█
█▀░ as ambient, drum&bass and few more ... So we realized, that our original ░▀█
█▀░ name PsyCZ is a little uncomfortable, because it highlights our psy - ░▀█
█▀░ sight. After few days of debates we decided to found new sub-group ... ░▀█
█▀░ and here we are ... PsyCZ_NP will bring you plenty of non psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ music ... especially ambient, but some other genres are planned too. ░▀█
█▀░ Why did we decide for non-psy? Changing of the group name isn't possible ░▀█
█▀░ so possibilities we had was only adding a suffix to current group name ░▀█
█▀░░ ... so have chosen non-psy, because it's clearest and most fluent ... ░░▀█

█▀║ : : ║▀█
█▀║ Aoki Takamasa is one half of audiovisual art unit Silicom. The duo has ║▀█
█▀║ already gained recognition not only in Kyoto, where they both live, ║▀█
█▀║ but also across Japan, with their pioneering work mixing the sonic ║▀█
█▀║ constructions of Takamasa and the visual displays of Masakazu Tagaki. ║▀█
█▀║ This album is the first release of music created and performed during ║▀█
█▀║ some of these installations. ║▀█
█▀║ When released in Japan, this album received praise from the press for ║▀█
█▀║ its cutting edge approach to sound structures and forms. TakamasaÆs ║▀█
█▀║ compositions are minimalist in shape. Using only a few sound sources ║▀█
█▀║ at a time, each track is a complex formation of noises arranged around ║▀█
█▀║ central beat configurations, sometimes running in parallel, as to ║▀█
█▀║ generate density from extremely basic components, on which microscopic ║▀█
█▀║ melodies are furtively anchored. Set somewhere between Mille ║▀█
█▀║ Plateaux-style arid clicks and the more hypnotic ambiences of releases ║▀█
█▀║ from Chain Reaction or Basic Channel, Silicom offers a series of ║▀█
█▀║ twelve assertive soundscapes, as enigmatic as their titles suggest, ║▀█
█▀║ and challenges the mind by its constant technological abstractions. ║▀█
█▀║ From the deconstructed beats of Jung 25 or Exp.2 to the linear ║▀█
█▀║ patterns of Ham or Kes and the atmospheric calm of Exp, Takamasa ║▀█
█▀║ explores the frontier between classic electronica and electro-acoustic ║▀█
█▀║ as he creates intense organic moments. Using mostly percussive, often ║▀█
█▀║ metallic, noises, as main architectural feature, he builds thick sine ║▀█
█▀║ wave clouds in the background, introducing other elements at irregular ║▀█
█▀║ intervals, even playing with human voices on Vos and Rec. It is easy ║▀█
█▀║ to imagine the correlation that this work has with visual ║▀█
█▀║ installations, and the technological impact that they cast over each ║▀█
█▀║ other.s ║▀█
█▀║ Silicom is an incredibly interesting record. Takamas takes some ║▀█
█▀║ unusual paths to create the soundtrack for Masakazu TagakiÆs work, ║▀█
█▀║ using intricate sounds and beat patterns to produce dense atmospheres, ║▀█
█▀║ and abstraction to create substance. ║▀█
