Ken Ishii Live from Club Risk 5 Year Anniversary Party..
BiO KEN ISHII..
Ken Ishii was born in Sapporo in 1970, soon he moved to
Tokyo, a huge city in which, without any doubt, he inspired
for later good works. The mixed Japanese traditions and the
ultra-developed industrial impact all over his country have
influenced Ken since he was very young and have made up his
peculiar style gradually. He states that there isn't any
connection between his music and the ancient traditions,
although he admits both Japanese and European influences are
pretty boring... "mixing is innovation".
As a good Japanese he says that concentration is essential
for composing good music: "Sometimes I forget about eating
and sleeping... in order to create you have to involve
yourself in what you're doing, the rest are just
accesories".
But Japanese not only live from concentration, machines play
a big role in their lifes "knowing your devices perfectly
well is the only way to make good music". Ken keeps his
tools secret, the only thing he talks openly about is his
refusement to the usual stuff: 909, 808, 303... his favorite
synth is JD-800 "Now that many opportunists fight for those
machines I prefer different devices... you must look forward
and be original.".
"When I started to compose music - he says - , about five
years ago, the fashionable stuff in Japan were all sounds
from abroad and sung themes; then people didn't listen to
the kind of things I was working on and there was no label
interested in it. That's the reason for which I decided to
send tapes to foreign countries. I thought it would be the
fastest way to get known". The choice for the American label
+8 was due for the next reason: "As a listener, I had the
feeling to do something new; I wanted the same thing,
chase... sounds that don't exist. But the audience isn't
very big". He also wanted to express his spiritual state:
"Due to the fact that techno music can be done on one's own,
it allows you to make all individual expressions possible,
unthinkable if we talk about other means. At the time when I
composed those themes I was a bit depressed; the word 'Utu'
in Japanese means 'depression' and the logo characters on
the record were assymetric, reflecting a lack of balance".
Richie Hawtin so justifies the reasons which made him
release in 1993 the music from a complete unknown young
23-year-old artist: "Yes, we published one of his first
discs in +8 with the title Utu. He sent us one of the first
demo-tapes we got from Japan, it was quite a surprise; there
is a lot of techno made in Japan that shamelessly shoots at
the techno made in Europe or America, fact that is pretty
boring. I think Ken Ishii was the first person who
introduced the Japanese personality into the techno music
from Japan, something very special. His rhythms are very
strange, simply because of their origin, and is so pleasant:
he is great and overflows with talent".
Novel contributions in a fast changing musical scene such as
techno are of great value. Traditional Japanese music
synthesis, electronic instrumentation and Western techno
influence have all made Ken Ishii reach a high place in a
short time. "About two hundred years ago, the first Western
influences arrived at Japan, added to the ones from Asia,
because I am interested in the music from China, Korea or
Indonesia, too, specially percussions. I have been born in
Japan and have breathed in that mixture of cultures ever
since. It's pretty understandable that I have assimilated
all of them in the sounds I produce". Ken Ishii also speaks
about the presence of spiritual elements in his music:
"Actually, I can't see why is it necessary to make a
difference between religion and electronic or other sorts of
music, because I have probably reflected many aspects from
Buddhism for I have been born in this circunference named
Japan where there is a narrow relationship between life and
religion. His works are often characterized by the
importance of pressure and polyrhythms, with continous
variations which remind us of Japanese rituals, despite a
recent turn in his trajectory.
In his second album, "Jelly Tones" (R&S, 95), Ken tends to
use more repetitive, dynamic and less complex patterns,
opposed to his former works. "I don't think in
Western/Eastern duality terms, mainly because inside myself
there are so many things I'd like to do and show. In my
first album ("Innerelements", 94, groups a series of four
maxis for the label R&S) perhaps I was more interested in
music for minorities. In the second album I didn't want to
base my work upon Western patterns, but I wanted to do
something which was inside me: work more around the idea of
movement through sounds, that's what I had thought".
