Dedicated Listening – Susumu Yokota

About

Susumu Yokota (April 11, 1960 – March 27 2015) was a Japanese record producer and composer of ambient and electronic music.

We’ll be doing dedicated listen of Laputa in partnership with Lo Recordings.  The mystical world of Laputa is perhaps Yokota's most challenging work but immeasurably rewarding. Beguiling and bewitching in equal measure.

.“There is a building up and breaking down of the elements within the mix, in a careful and spacious construction. Something that appears to be far in the distance can gradually, or suddenly, break through front and centre. There are many styles of music that have been called deep listening - the term is even applied to a way of listening itelf. Laputa is a fine example of depth in music. It can also be heard as a ceremony, and as a trip…” - Richard Norris
