¡Dark Becomes Light
¡Ishige Akira
Description
[Machine Translation] - A world that goes from darkness to light - the telephones frontman Ishige Akira. The third solo album is not only a digital world, but also a world where you can feel the warmth of people's bodies. This album is a fusion of his geeky experimentation with music and his openness to song, resulting in a work that will change not only the world in your bedroom, but also the scenery you see repeatedly in your daily life. The theme of this work is the light of hope that everyone has deep in their hearts, which is to become light from the darkness. According to the self-liner notes included in the package, "The words 'darkness, light, morning, and night' appear frequently in the lyrics, and since this is my last album in my 20s, I feel as if I am looking back at my past (especially the dark parts of my teenage years). I am very happy to have been able to do this. I think it's a good thing that I'm in my 20s," he says. As on the sound side, the songs are filled with nature sounds recorded in the field, just as on the previous album. The warmth of the acoustic instruments is fused with delicate electronics to create a song that brings tears to the listener's eyes, and the third track, "Kotonoha," introduces the mandolin for the first time. The mischievous instrumental piece that uses many children's toy instruments, and more. Ishige's innocent playfulness is fully contained in this album. Mastering was done by Yoshinori Sunahara. Please also note the subtle and elongated finish that maximizes the quality of the music. The most notable feature of this album is the "free, broadened, and deepened heart of song," which has a lot of darkness, but still seeks the light, strength, and kindness toward such people (including myself). Both the music and the sound design are wrapped in a tenderness that is close to people's hearts. Although there are plenty of typed rhythm patterns and synths, this is not a digital world, but music that is so close to people's feelings, that you can feel the warmth of people's bodies. This is exactly the "human skin bedroom music" of 2014! I hope that the music made in Teruki Ishige's bedroom will be played in someone's bedroom all over the world. It's great for sleeping, but it's also great to listen to at dawn or so!
