about

Jodo is the first collaboration between Stijn Hüwels and Chihei Hatakeyama.

This album was recorded in 2018, during two European tours of Chihei Hatakeyama.

Jodo means Buddhist paradise in Japanese.

良質なアンビエント作品をリリースするSlaapwelの主宰者で、2019年にはHome Normalより、Tomoyoshi DateやNorihito Sudaとのコラボレーションアルバムを立て続けにリリースしたStijn Hüwelsと2018年にはヨーロッパを中心にトルコなどのフェスに出演するなど
世界を彷徨するChihei Hatakeyamaの初のコラボレーションアルバムが完成した。

Jodo(浄土)と名付けられた今作はささやくように微細なアナログシンセの、掠れた道に打ち捨てられた空き缶のような音色から物語が始まる。
ピッチの定まらないアナログシンセの音色は巨大な重力に、あるいはブラックホールに吸い込まれるように、エレクトリックギターのメロコリックな音色に重なり、消えてゆく。
strymonとeventideのリヴァーブとディレイは巨大な霧に吸い込まれるような悲しみの詩学の中へギタードローンを誘い込み、怒濤の残響となって響き渡る。

Chihei Hatakeyama is a sound artist and mastering engineer, born in 1978. He's living in Tokyo and has performed for years under his given name and also as one half of the electroacoustic duo Opitope, along with Tomoyoshi Date.

Hatakeyama got involved in playing music through strumming a electric guitar in a few rock-oriented bands in his teenage years. Subsequently a laptop computer superseded his bands as his main platform. Hatakeyama polychromes memory-evoking soundscapes with various recorded materials of acoustic instruments such as guitars, vibraphone, and piano; mostly played by hand and processed time and time again via laptop. His first album Minima Moralia was commissioned for release by the Chicago-based label kranky in early 2006.

Since then his many album was released by Room 40, Under The Spire, Hibernate Records, Magic Book Records, Home Nomal, OwnRecords, Spekk, Dronarivm, Constellation Tatsu, Glacial Movements Records and his own label White Paddy Mountain.

In 2013 Hatakeyama founded the record label White Paddy Mountain, which since then has released over 40 recordings by some of the most accomplished musicians and modern ambient musicians, shoegazer and folk musicians in Japan.

Recent years Hatakeyama continues to evolve his sound by analog synthesizer, modular synthesizer and compact guitar effector. Hatakeyama approaches some modular synthesizer and electric guitar drone project with an expectation of new directions.
