Improvisational synergy rarely sounds better than on U TA rom Keiji Haino and Shuta Hasunuma. All throughout the record, Haino's voice weaves through Hasunuma's layered soundscapes of analogue synths, electric guitar, piano and field recordings to create a minimal yet expansive world of sound. To make the record, Haino entered the studio with only lyrics and improvised melodies in real time while responding to Hasunuma's evolving arrangements, and it is that which gives rise to such fluid and intuitive collaboration. Additional sessions in their respective studios refined the work. A truly boundary-blurring exploration and hypnotic interplay where voice and instrumentation constantly push and reshape each other.
