I’ve just found myself in the middle of a Japanese forest, surrounded by a group of people. They all have individual instruments, some of which I’ve never seen before. There’s some flutes, violins a vocalist and then some sort of hybrid bass-tube instrument amongst others.
The group are plaing me this haunting melody, with a very ‘live’ feel about it. Nothing is over-processed here by the sounds of things. They seem content to play to me, slowly building up their sounds until after a couple of minutes, they break in to this frantic beat-driven bass-heavy breaks/dubstep hybrid sound. It suddenly becomes apparent that there are twice as many people here as I thought initially, and stretching off back in to the forest are people with snares, bits of percussion, and a bunch of processors for the bass.
It’s a bizarre picture to conjour up, but it seems apt, and somewhat fitting for this track “Angel” from German producer outfit Liquidrockz.
