Soundium (kc011) by Tomotsugu Nakamura

Tomotsugu Nakamura is a fresh artist from Tokyo who has released his debut album just a year ago from kaico, and he is already back again with his new album entitled “Soundium”. The word “Soundium” is made up of “Sound” + “ium” meaning the element of sound, and also meant to sound like a miniature garden simulated by sounds. Indeed Nakamura’s sound world has evolved even deeper and what is most noticeable comparing to his 1st album is the emphasis on the rhythm which is blended softly into fragments of colorful acoustic and electronic tones. Together with nice rich textures, Nakamura delivers another masterpiece which is just pleasant all through out.

"Listen to new Tomotsugu Nakamura's album is a similar experience to contemplate a delicate object: a box of carved wood, a collage, a diadem. Each sound is worked with love and mastery. This music is full of wonder"
- Federico Durand

2013年のデビュー作が国内外で高い評価を得たサウンドアーティストによる、前作から一年という短いスパンで届けられた最新作！多くのリスナーを魅了した、多数の楽器音や自然音が絡み合い奏でられる暖かく清んだサウンドはそのままに、今作では電子的なアプローチを強め、よりリズミカルで鮮やかなサウンドが展開される。前作よりさらに深化した、新たなambient/electronicaの地平を切り開く名盤入り必至の意欲作！

「このトモツグ・ナカムラのアルバムは、デリケートなオブジェクト作りのようなものである。くり抜かれた木に、コラージュに、王冠が入った箱。どの音も愛情と熟練によって磨かれている。この音楽は驚きに溢れているのである。」- Federico Durand
