chmafu nocords

The Japanese word "Utiage Hanabi" means fireworks.
It is very beautiful and magnificent. Everybody enjoys it.
But I don't like "Utiage Hanabi". Because it's not continuos. 
Just like a big political or business event isn't. 
Trends and fashion... it's all about money and more money.

All my sounds don't have a powerful impact like a "Utiage Hanabi".
My sounds have only a daily life like a "SENKO" (incense).

Kazuya Ishigami is evidently Japanese artist. He runs his label neus 318 and this is his Chmafu release.
Utiage Hanabi actually means fireworks on Japanese.
Sound of "Utiage Hanabi" does not associate of fireworks, no matter what?s the connection between fireworks and this release or its sound.
It seems that it?s all about urban living,
living in urban areas, feeling its consequences and hearing sounds from urban places.
Distant delayed voices, dark ambiences, some traditional Japanese instruments, metal hits, cracks, city
soundscapes, running water, fabric noises, announcements on train
stations can be recognized in five longer tracks included here.
Probably sounds and field recordings were taken from urban places, industry zones, train stations and other urban places giving to the
atmosphere more vivid sensibility. Layers of those sounds and noises are placed one over another making rich ambient structure.
As the release is coming to its end it's becoming noisier and delayed
varying in its level. Nothing new but very beautifully, calming and
subtle.
