PRESS RELEASE:
Many of you may have already had a chance to appreciate some of Toshiya Tsunoda's work on such fine labels as Selektion, WRK, Intansitive, and Lucky Kitchen. Here, this master of unprocessed field recordings again extracts baffling and compelling sounds from the most unexpected sources. His descriptions are often as thought provoking as the sounds themselves.

"Fragments for Stereophony"
The arbitrary point is placed into continuous fragments.
Distance and time appear from this point.
The point is an observer’s of a pair of ears.

"Recorded Landscape: Pier"
Listening the record of a certain place.
It may be like to see a landscape described
within the recorded time.
The place where the landscape is described is
the inside of perception of the
man who listen it.

Whereas Tsunoda's interest is very specific to eliciting sound from locations with described methods, Civyiu Kkliu works necessarily without description of process, and it has more to do with providing locations with a specific sonic condition. Like his forthcoming CD on Banned Productions, and the STAALPLAAT/bake release described as a "functioning like a utility as do light and heat in a room," this work 1111111, from the series 111-11111111111, is a single track that is consistent, marked by subtle changes, evenness, and indifferent beauty.

REVIEW EXCERPTS:
“… when played at a moderate volume, things become alive in your own space; I am sure that's exactly the sort of thing Kkliu is aiming for. Here the conceptualism is at work on a great level.” - Vital Weekly

“A nice work all around.” - Incursion.org
