Tip! "I just released a new album as my solo project, Agencement. This is a follow-up album to 'Six Juxtaposed Works', which was released in 2017 on the Copenhagen label Tochnit Aleph. It's been about 35 years since I produced 'vinyl' by myself, so it's very emotional, although since the 1990s, it has become difficult to manufacture vinyl LPs in Japan and there were no channels to outsource overseas because I was disappointed in the situation. Musically, I think it's a further step in the direction of 'October Variations', released under my birth name in January 2022 on Glasgow label scatterArchive, but you may listen to it differently. The work began in Autumn 2022 with the recording in the studio, and the final mix was completed about one year later in August 2023. Listen." - Hideaki Shimada

" Every time I play this LP, I hear something else, a different construction, another approach, or changes I had not heard earlier,
such as the piano on the first side, seemingly indicating changes within the piece." - Frans de Waard
