still left by iu takahashi

"What are some of your favorite sounds in the world?" -Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis

"My favorite sound in the world right now is the sound of a quiet museum or gallery. I love the sound of the space, which is a combination of the sound of the ventilation fan, the irregular footsteps of visitors moving around while looking at the works, and the sounds of the outside coming from far away." -Iu Takahashi

This quote via interview by Brad Rose sums up the deep respect and love we have for Iu Takakahi's take on the world and her work as a sound artist/composer perfectly.

Initially hearing Depthscape and Late in Life, Iu's work jumped out by virtue of its delicate authenticity, intricate field recordings, and worlds of stunning emotive layers of ambient composition.

Still Left is a fully realized work that folds in and in upon itself until it reaches an almost granular level. Beginning with the solo cello of "Innocence" and ending with the stunning ambient drift of "Sand River", this recording is an intricate puzzle that invites the listener into its increasing complexity and unexpected simplicity in ways that are difficult to articulate, and likely will become a unique relationship with each person to spend any amount of time with it. It is deeply intimate and authentically fearless in expression, and humbling to interact with as a listener.
