Not much is really known about the production process behind the sprawling works of Japanese composer Yosuke Tokunaga, nor about the artist himself. Whatever the process may be, its outcome yields unique soundscapes that lunge and retreat in near mechanical movement, while warm volleys of low flung claps and thumps disperse over a bed of textural hums and lingering chords. At times, Yosuke's work manages to somehow form an atmosphere that can both feel airy and yet dense simultaneously; it is this juxtaposed mélange of sonic fabric that is at the core of his unique creations, and once again it is beautifully displayed on Yosuke's latest outing, 8 Quadrants, where he continues his unique practice of figuratively interpreting language through a sequence of delicate sonic sculptures. 8 Quadrants follows 2021's 9 Mezzotints. Released via the Berlin based Vaagner label, and its offshoot Vaknar. Edition of 250.
