"Feeding Tube Records is excited to present the first North American release by this amazing Japanese sound artist.
Yosuke Fujita
goes by the name
FUJI|||||||||||TA
, perhaps so he won't be mistaken for the guitarist of the same name who plays with
Better Days
, or perhaps because he just likes to hear people try to figure out how to say, 'FUJI|||||||||||TA,' properly. Either way, FUJI|||||||||||TA is a wonderful avant-garde project that has been active for almost two decades. In its current iteration, performances involve spontaneous compositions on a mutant pipe organ which is operated by air pumps rather than keys. Using a variety of gestural means to create the long tones that are the basis of his work, FUJI|||||||||||TA's performances (such as this one at an old church in Brattleboro VT) have a choreographic element to match the sonics. As an element for this live session (the first he has released), the artist was also able to weave in sounds from Epsilon Spire's own 1906 3' manual Estey pipe organ. The sonic mix is both organic and ghostly. The process by which FUJI|||||||||||TA works has a deeply spiritual quality that blends seamlessly with instrumental sounds sometimes recalling
Charlemagne Palestine
at his most oceanic. When FUJI|||||||||||TA adds vocals, things get even better. Sometimes using a technique where he pushes himself to a place where he utters sounds that are beyond his actual range, at others singing long wordless passages with prayer-like qualities, the music is beyond easy description. There are three tracks on the LP, each with a slightly different instrumental approach, but all of a piece. The first has both FUJI|||||||||||TA's mutant organ as well as the church's. The second features the church organ and voice. The third is church organ and a Japanese free reed instrument called a shõ. Some parts have a single drone line, others commingle multiple sources for extra pleasure. But the entire album is something like waking up in the middle of a very strange and beautiful dream, not exactly certain where you are or even who you are, just drifting on clouds of serendipitous sounds. All we can say is, 'dream on.'" --
