ghosttropics Reverse engineered dub, reconstructed from skeletal remains.

Big recommendation for fans of Yosuke Tokunaga, who I would also highly recommend if you aren't familiar and are looking for similarly shadowy dub abstractions.

about

โ€œJoe Fujinoki centered the compositions of his latest album ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’”๐’” ๐‘ป๐’๐’“๐’”๐’ around the idea of the fragility of the human body. Fujinoki described the narrative thread of the album as that of โ€œholding the shape of a human body as if it might shatter like glassโ€. The precariousness of the body, the essence of the body as defined by Fujinoki as the torso, and the object relations between the boundaries of dialectical exercises pack themselves into his creative process.

Fujinoki recorded ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’”๐’” ๐‘ป๐’๐’“๐’”๐’ exclusively with analog synthesizers, stumbling in and out of structural loops to find space for accidental discoveries. The ten pieces of recorded material feel somewhere on the edge of typified form, feeling like a vascular system pumping in and out its undulating liquidities. Maybe this is the hollowed space held together by Fujinokiโ€™s notion of the torso where you hear a microscopic world, dubby and generative. Fujinoki is adept at organizing this realm of subtle sound sources, giving proper considerations of shared tonal space. Seemingly, this handling of the precarity of sonic material elucidates Fujinokiโ€™s mature attention to detail.

Ambient music genre tropes often affirm the listeners vessel for escape and dissociation. It provides an intoxicating allure by respite from an overwhelming exterior reality far outside the listeners controls. Here this space becomes apolitical, or its protest vocabulary softer and subtle. Fujinoki does not aim to tackle hyperobject topics on how to course correct the world, but he does something increasingly rarer to come across. On ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’”๐’” ๐‘ป๐’๐’“๐’”๐’ an alternative space is created not as shelter, but as a meditation on negotiation and compromise. This twenty eight minutes of audio lays down a foundation for imagination, for imagining how to negotiate the fragility of the self. Zoomed out, the implications of his negotiative sonics can be a playground for broader reflections on distributive care and attention.

Fujinoki says he feels โ€œalertโ€ to his physicality and placement in the world amidst vast digital cultures creating impositions on him and his surroundings. On ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’”๐’” ๐‘ป๐’๐’“๐’”๐’ he creates a concretized space on a vinyl record, where the virtual and the tangible antagonize one another that create the spectacle of the listening experience. This spectacle is a soft one, a considered one, and an utmost enjoyable one. Fujinoki juggles opposing forces brilliantly, and formulates an exquisite palette of soft passing music so he can also help the listener with the exquisite burden of their own ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’‚๐’”๐’” ๐‘ป๐’๐’“๐’”๐’.โ€
