Global ancient atmosphere
Rhythm, duration and silence lie at the foundation of all of Haino's music. After a clutch of documents of his hair-raising solo performances for both acoustic and electric percussion, this latest album presents Haino's first recorded outing behind a regular drumkit. Haino has long desired to release a solo drum album, and he has been playing a regular kit occasionally live for several decades now. Global Ancient Atmosphere contains nine tracks that showcase an austere yet thrilling investigatio…
Uchu Ni Karami Tsuiteiru Waga Itami
Digital theremin, air synth, air FX, etc. Another step into previously unexplored territory for Haino--his first ever all-electronic album. Uchu ni karami tsuiteiru waga itami (the title means roughly 'Tangled up in the universe, my pain') sees Haino using a bewildering range of electronic instruments.
Hikari yami uchitokeaishi kono hibiki
First album of solo guitar by Keiji Haino in quite some time, but very much a departure from the mountain-levelling, continent-sundering, weather-system huge electric guitar releases of years past. The title roughly translates as 'Light darkness melting into one this vibration'. Haino advises the listener to play as loud as possible - surely a first on an album of acoustic guitar.
To start with, let’s remove the colour !
Gorgeous new bag of home-recorded mystery from Haino. Apparently recorded alone, late at night and at minimal volume, these latest recordings tremble with the same deep-welled emotional sensitivity and sense of veiled threat that animated classics like Watashi Dake?, Affection and Era of Sad Wings.
The 21st century hard-y-guide-y man
Haino uses a hurdy gurdy, runs it through his battery of effects and winds up with a large whoosh of noise not unlike Tony Conrd's violin.
