I’m totally thrilled to announce that TakuRoku, the outlet for improvised and experimental music recorded during lockdown of the vibrant Cafe Oto has released Axial Tilt, a single durational improvisation that meditates on the paradigm shift in everyday life since the start of the pandemic.
Here’s what they say about the record: «Utilizing 12-string acoustic guitar with an e-bow and a slide, the natural environment sounds of the room and subtle guitar double tracking, he unfolds a raw and beguiling sound world, slowly gliding from rustic sustained high notes and glacial harmonies through to percussive motifs and soft atonal clusters. Each delicate pick, touch and rumble of his guitar is lifted into an open space without limits, with each gesture floating in and out of itself in a seemless motion. This is some of the most tactile, considered and singular guitar playing we’ve heard in some time. A real treat.»
