::REVIEWS::

Sawako is a Japanese sound artist now living in New York and Nagoya native where she studied studying the classical piano over 10 years. In Tokyo studied computer culture and graduated in 2002. Sawako obtained a Master’s degree in Interactive Telecommunications at the New York University.
Since 2001 she has been active releasing CD-R’s, MP3’s and CD’s in various labels such as Portugal’s Grain Of Sound, and American’s Anticipate, Community Library and 12k.
Daisuke Miyatani is a Japanese graphic designer, art director and musician, and currently lives in Awaji Islands who has release some CD’s in international imprints.
‘Hi Bi No Ne’ is released by Schole Records and supported by Schole Japanese magazine run by Akira Kosemura.
The music has an organic and digital sound composed by gentle guitars, field recordings, marimba like and bowed instruments, clicks and electronics.
The atmosphere is fine and delicate, quite cinematic and ‘Super no Flat’ is good example of it. ‘Sou’ shows a nice melody along with the sound of a glass like object producing a rough tiny sound that flows perfectly.
Sawakos’s vocals are both enchanting and sweet that fixed properly in the music of this album. Refined ambient!
