Masayoshi Fujita – Bird Ambience – 2LP (Clear)

Released by Erased Tapes, “Bird Ambience” brings several fresh changes for the artist. Until now, Fujita would separate his acoustic solo recordings, the electronic dub made under his El Fog alias, and his experimental improvisations with contemporaries such as Jan Jelinek. The new album sees him unite all these different facets for the first time into one singular vision. He also makes a lateral leap from his signature instrument the vibraphone – on which he created his acclaimed triptych Stories (2012), Apologues (2015) and Book of Life (2018) – to the marimba, which takes centre stage on his new record alongside drums, percussion, synths, effects and tape recorder.

“Bird Ambience” also marks his liberation from fastidious preparation for past solo releases to new endeavours in improvisation.
