Goto no Yoniwa - Garden in the Night (An Electronic Re-creation)

For over a year, during 2004-05, Sugai Ken constructed "Goto no Yoniwa", using electronic means to recreate this night sound-world, painstakingly and lovingly generating each individual sound and placing it appropriately, without the aid of automation software, crafting a hand-made electronic sonic atmosphere. These are not field recordings, but rather an inspired, hand-crafted homage to to the magic of the night sounds of Japanese summer. A soothing hour-long composition, somehow mysterious and obscure.
