In the seven tracks of this album, Ken Ikeda presents studies of sound accretion and interaction, with one-word titles (such as “静寂 Seijaku | Stillness“ or “白昼 Hakuchu | Daylight”) which suggest the impulse behind each of the highly-abstract pieces.  Audible surface tensions, incidental string picking, scraping, clattering, clinking, and clicks or pops from the audio capturing are the primary points of activity, occurring without steady momentum, tempo, or intensity.  Despite that, the atmosphere is often relaxed, feeling unhurried and natural, but it does lead to the pieces falling out of memory rather quickly.  Something more suited to background texturing than direct focus, but still rather striking in its presentation.
