Intervall-audio added some new Japanese artists to their web site for your refined taste in electronic music. You may want to switch directly to www.intervall-audio.com to listen to some mp3 samples for prelisten and read all the artists' short biographical info based on personal interviews. Or check out all recent additions to the Intervall-audio website in this mail. content> NEW FEATURED ARTISTS: PIANA || Snow Bird (cubicmusic/12k, 2003) Apart from being a cute Japanese girl, Piana is a full-fledged electronic musician and producer, whose diary kind of music and lyrics convey an intimate, melancholy and even surreal glimpse of Japanese women electronic music art. We are particularly proud to have won Piana for our website.

Read more at: http://www.intervall-audio.com/artists/ichinose.html HASHIMOTO KAZUMASA || epitaph (flyrec, 2004) Reminiscent of French Film Noir, Kazumasa's music has many a story to tell. Blending piano and orchestral sounds with glitch and computer processing, the narrative structures of his tracks are perfect for relaxing brain cinema. Read more at: http://www.intervall-audio.com/artists/hashimoto.html YXETM+ || Milles Comedies (airplane label, 2003) A sound artist who travelled Europe and the States, exploring the "inner ache" of existence. His chanting and laptop processing have been described by David Toop as "feeling the chill presence of ghosts wandering through ruins." So much for the heavy arts.

Dysfunction, skips, and brilliant pads reveal Pola's amazing sound-consciousness and wizardry in sampling and mixing. If Pola wasn't Japanese, he would be speaking the language of French philosophy and German techno by SND. Pola is the latest cutting-edge discovery by Tokyo based Plop label.

Omb is part of the new generation of young and fresh electronic musicians in Tokyo, travelling the crossroads of electronic and acoustic sound. Read more at: http://www.intervall-audio.com/artists/omb.html SORA || re.sort (plop, 2003) A glimpse of electronic summer holidays, re.sort also reassembles bossa nova and jazz records into analogue warmth, vinyl clicking and low-frequency groove whoosh. Sora is Japanese and means "sky," and since Sora comes from Kyoto where all the temples are, he probably also knows that Sora is the Chinese character for Buddhist emtiness aka fullness.
