簡介。。。。。。

Yoshio Machida is a Tokyo based transboundary sound & visual artist. For his 4th CD, he presents his first-ever set of "acoustic" improvisations using Steel Pans with no electronic processing. Steel Pan's mystic tone which was born in Trinidad and Tobago, a country in the southern Caribbean Sea can be often listened in the latin covered pieces. But this was made from a different perspective. As you could know the process that he changed to use the instrument, gong which was used in his sound collage work based on field-recording to Steel Pan, the impression of this album is like ambient, minimal music or traditional indian music which he inspired.

The music on this album is unlike fugue, gamelan or Tintinnabulation proposed by Arvo Part. It features over-dubbed minimal improvised phrases that create unique random delay like effects, somewhat reminiscent of wind bell sounds. And there is a piece inspired by the milestone of Minimalism, Erik Satie's Vexations, and also a strangely wonderful drone piece created solely from Steel Pan rolls. Like his previous album, the theme of the album is flowers, and the clear sounds of the Steel Pan are sure to treat you with an ambient, meditative and relaxing listening experience.

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。推薦指數：8.1/10

町田良夫在自己廠牌Amorfon發行的第二張個人專輯，同樣打破我們對於鋼鼓這源自加勒比海熱情嘉年華的樂器的印象，而呈現全然極簡、具有環境音樂美感，適合冥想與放鬆的音樂。不同的是，這次他更首度純以「原音」樂器即興演奏為基本元素而不另添加電子聲響，只利用over-dubbed來創造隨機而獨特、類似延遲的效果。在印度傳統音樂的色彩影響下，鋼鼓的聲音彷彿成了風鈴，隨著午後微風擺盪，催人入眠。(引自節點)

簡介。。。。。。

"Here is the evolved music with steelpan x electronics from Tokyo!!"
"Infinite Flowers" is the 3rd album of YOSHIO MACHIDA, a sound & visual artist, based in Tokyo. Developing a gong piece from his 2nd album,"Hypernatural #2 (2001, softl music)", this album was made using a sound system of steel pan + live electronics(Max/MSP). In a unique piece, "¡hana mambo!", humorous robot choir is singing with rhythm and it's creating an exotic atmosphere. The wonderful ecology, beauty and brightness of "flower" which is the theme of this album are expressed in electronics textures enough. Creating with Keiichi Sugimoto(guitar, ex. MINAMO, FONICA) and Tetsuro Yasunaga(electronics, ex. MINAMO, VOIMA) from cubic music which is leading Tokyo's new music scene, it became electro-acoustic ensemble with clear sounds.

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。推薦指數：7.6/10

就像這張CD的title“Infinite Flower”（無限的花朵），還有它非常漂亮的cd cover，Yoshio Machida（町田良夫）努力地用各種聲音描繪著花之印象：她的美麗，她的色彩，她的迷人香氣，她的自然氣質。町田良夫曾經遊歷過許多國家，並在世界各處田園風光中進行他的錄音實驗，而且親手創造了一種改良式的鋼鼓（steel pan）。這張專輯裏他就運用著這種“町田鋼鼓”，配上些live電音，創造著他追求的花香四溢、花瓣飛舞的田園意境。第二個track“!Hana Mombo!”在整張專輯中非常特別，唯一有演唱的一曲，卻將人聲處理得像機器人發出一般，讓人聯想起Kazumasa Hashimoto和他的“futuristic pop”，可愛、富有童趣。
