Haling from Tokyo, Schole is one of a
number of collective enterprising
surfacing from the latest generation of
young Japanese electronic composers. As
artists like Midori Hirano, Piana and
others find acclaim increasingly beyond
the boundaries of their country and
language, other younger artists in Tokyo
and other centres seem to be equally
increasing their global position and
this compilation sums up a good deal of
some of the names to watch in the coming
years.
ItÆs not all unfamiliar names
represented on this edition - in fact
Lullatone and RF both have issued a
number of acclaimed releases in recent
years. The compilations featuring of
artists such as Cokiyu, Akira Kosemura
(also one of the key members of the
Schole collective) and Daisuke Miyatani
is perhaps where the attentive listening
of the release should fall, as it is
these names that shed some light on the
emergent talents in Tokyo and beyond.
Cokiyu for instance creates a familiar
yet personal sounding electronica that
references the distant discordant
qualities of Sigur Ros set against the
gentler end of Tujiko NorikoÆs
processing. KosemuraÆs æWatercolourÆ
paints a nai¿ve vision of pastel rhythm
and floating melodic chimes - his
personal style pointing to a sense of
great future potential. Miyatani by
contrast creates a spirited acoustic
guitar piece, recorded live amongst what
seems to be 1000 crickets, his
combination of field recordings and free
performance, bringing to mind the
qualities of the Craig/Carchesio release
on Naturestrip. Other contributions from
artists such as Dom Mino and Haruka
Nakamura are less realised, but offer a
vision of what might come forth from
TokyoÆs electronic underbelly in the
coming years and whilst thereÆs some
potential exhibited here itÆs clear some
artists have defined their creative
stake more thoroughly than their
brethren.
