Tenshi no Gijinka

The enigmatic Japanese noise artist delivered a remarkably stark, deeply unsettling solo recording focused heavily on percussion and free improvisation. Moving away from his signature wall-of-noise guitar feedback, Haino utilizes highly resonant, traditional Japanese percussion and deeply ritualistic vocalizations to craft a haunting, deeply isolating atmosphere. The profoundly abstract recording highlights his fiercely uncompromising dedication to absolute sonic experimentation.
