Since his early steps into minimal immaculate & galvanizing ambient, Hiroki Sasajima proved that he had a keen ear for refined sonic details and optimal placement of sound... Along his own explorations and fast self-maturation, he has quickly grown into a skillful dissector, interested in the inner buried properties of sound, its nervures...
Auscultating his environment, listening to its own breath reverberated differently according to the surfaces & materials, he restores sublimated re-read fragments ofreality...
Highly perceptual & organic, his pieces seem to be based perhaps upon in situ manipulation of objects, slight frictions, small bruisings heard through contact mics, to which he juxtaposes an evolving muffled sound motif as spine...
"monogenic" is another fine example of his approach where magnification & introspection combine to become the compost of a deep sensory experience, delivering a sort of intimate story speaking to our Subconscious...
Hiroki captures the invisible distillations, the tremblings, & underlying tones of the locations he visits, gradually filling up a fascinating audio-diary in an entomological way... "monogenic" is a focused closeup breaking the codes of our immediate surroundings...
