Beatmaker Inner Science from the soup-
disk label, releases his first non-beat
album as PORTRAL on the HEADZ sublabel
vectors!! This album is a modern day
version of "Selected Ambient Works, Vol.
2".
- Atsushi Sasak
Stretching, refining and rearranging the
sonic material extracted from records,
and leaving the warmth, rhythms, and
grooves from sampled sounds, PORTRAL
transforms them into beautiful ambient
music.
Coming from a new generation of
beatmakers, Inner Science releases his
first non-beat project under the name
PORTRAL!
Starting his career in the hiphop scene,
Inner Science has released 3 albums so
far, and in particular his album
"MATERIAL" released in 2004 from soup-
disk gained the acclaim of beat freaks
and electronic music fans. He ran the
independent label ONEOWNER RECORDS (the
label released Killer Bong's projects,
and records by Illreme a.k.a. moyunijimo
and AOKI takamasa) but closed it down in
2005 to the dismay of many fans. He has
also engineered projects for the members
of THINK TANK, released countless
mixtapes, and works with a wide range of
artists outside of the hiphop circuit.
Applying his knowledge of sampling that
he gained through beat production, he
utilized the warmth of vinyl samples
without using discernable rhythms, and
started the ambient project PORTRAL in
2004. He has two vinyl releases as
PORTRAL under his belt, and also
released a DVD-R of an improvised live
show with visual artist 10k.
This first CD release is a culmination
of his work as PORTRAL and the debut
album under this name. He not only
produced the music for the record, but
also created the artwork.
