Search - Aus :: Light in August Later

2009 release from Tokyo-based musician and composer Yasuhiko Fukuzono (AKA Aus). Matching cycled melodic passages with tiny electronic clicks and tones, Aus generates a music that borrows the harmonic intent of pop but reduces it to a fine grain. Melodies blossom, are swept up in a gauze of processing and become transformed into something exquisitely intimate and engaging. Collaborating with Viennese musician Glim on two pieces, and joined by artists such as Cokiyu on others, this is a record that speaks to Aus's abilities not only as a composer, but also a sound crafter of the highest order. An essential and compelling deconstruction of Electronic infused Pop by one of Japan's most impressive young artists.
