Oval

Description:

OVAL will be versioned up again and again: music of the 2020s, its design and implementation. -- Atsushi Sasaki, a musician living in Berlin, Germany, who introduced epoch-making experimental electronic sound works using CD skips in the mid-1990s, and continued to present new possibilities in electronic music, spreading his followers around the world. He has been presenting new possibilities of electronic music and spreading his followers all over the world. The new album will be released worldwide through Thrill Jockey in the U.S., three years after his 2016 album "popp" (oval 2 / HEADZ 214), which featured funky, danceable, howdy, and soulful Oval-style club tracks throughout. Following the release of the 5-track EP "Eksploio" in November 2019, the 10-track full-length album "SCIS" will appear in Japan first. While the two-disc opus "o" released 10 years ago took a post-rock approach, actually using organic drum sounds as an ensemble element, "SCIS" uses acoustic instruments such as piano, woodwinds, and strings as elements of beat-making loops to create a complex, yet subtle and abstract dance sound.It is a highly innovative and original collection that once again demonstrates Marcus Popp's extraordinary talent as a composer and sound designer, and is the most melodic collection of Marcus-related works. It is a further update of the club-music approach of "popp," and once again the most "pop" work in OVAL's history. The Japanese CD version includes the EP "Eksploio" as a bonus track, allowing the listener to fully enjoy the romantic and emotional sound of the latest Oval album. Commentary enclosed: Dai Onojima / Shun Fushimi ◎Bonus tracks on the Japanese edition only: 5 bonus tracks (EP "Eksploio" on CD for the first time in the world) ◎Advanced release in Japan
