ひとり遊び / Playing Alone

by Yosuke Watanabe

supported by

Memory Lab One of my favorite releases of 2019. The emotional track “Hammer” stands out in Yosuke’s debut album in which he manages to create high tensions and diverse atmospheres on all nine tracks only through the use of percussions. He also delivers a stunning beatbox performance on “Voice” over more than 5 minutes.

The last track on the album “Origin” develops an oppressive atmosphere through grumbling kicks and waves hitting the shore. The final 80 seconds are absolutely hard-hitting and mind-blowing and make this album the most intense release on Musilogue thus far.

Favorite track: 起源 / Origin.

打楽器奏者、渡辺庸介によるリズムソロアルバム。タンバリンをメインとした独自のセットを軸に、電子ドラム、ボイスパーカッション、ハンマーダルシマーなどあらゆるアイテムを駆使する。マニアックなのに最後まで飽きのこない中毒性を持った作品。
