Based in osaka, multiphonic ensemble aka yoshihiro hanno is exploring since 1988 the many faces of music [drum'n'bass, hip hop, soundtrack, post-free jazz] with an obvious taste for fusion. After the fascinating and acclaimed King of May [ref: SR128] here is Cirque… but don't expect from Yoshihiro Hanno the simple illustration of a circus arena. Imagine something closer to a parade of junglists meeting contemporary music composers experimenting a hip-hop illumination, jugglers presenting their skills with sounds, voices and noises.Cirque is an eclectic wild performance based on furious diversity, reaching high level of magic and emotion on the more atmospheric tracks [like the finale 'Sonata for Impudent Moon']. A bridge between King of May and the soundtrack Yoshihiro did for Hou Hsiao Hsien's 'Flowers for Shangai' movie. This new opus is a perfect example of what the multiphonic project is based on: a taste for an infinite universe of fusion, an attempt to tame one's own world of ideas, thoughts, emotions.

'Multiphonic ensemble paint an invigorating yet chillingly surreal picture of tokyo, providing proper audio accompaniment to the hitech, ambiguously subjective realities proposed in sophisticated animé like Ghost In The Machine. I'm in love.' - Alternative Press

'Japanese-junglist fusion is natural, having a concept of musical space, breath and phase construction unlike much in the West. Powerful and innovative.'

'Like Squarepusher, hanno seeks tp de- and re-construct jazz using drum & bass techniques, but like Photek, he does so in a way that remains listenable and stimulating.' - Urb

'Nicely-placed atmospherics from chimes, tuned percussion, funky bass libes, tuned percussion and electronix make this a listening pleasure.' - Exclaim

File Under: Electronic Hip-Hop/ Jungle Opera

Drugi album Japończyków. Wspaniała fuzja: d'n'b, jazz, free jazz, noise... Jazzująze, drum’n bassowe breakowe rytmy, uzupełnione tym razem o tradycyjne instrumentarium - saksofony, smyczki, gitary, bębny. Krótsze, niekiedy zabawne utwory wskazują też na fascynacje dokonaniami Rezydentów. Po prostu rewelacja – jeszcze lepiej niż na debiucie. Miłośnicy Soft Machine, Gongu, Magmy – ale także nowej elektroniki – powinni tego posłuchać.
