HOYO (Japanese translation : hug / embrace) SCR013
created by Michael Valentine West

It is time to rediscover lost genres for yourself.
The music on this release is a mix of many experimental sub genres such as longform ambient, destructive composition, disintegrated looping, sound on sound tape looping and sound design.

We are in debt to MWV for coming up with such a unique album, which has the most seamless flow.

The two compositions were created using short piano phrases that were then gradually saturated and degraded by employing a process that involved both virtual (software emulation) and physical (reel to reel tape machines) sound on sound tape head recording techniques.
The resulting audio slowly dissolves, disintegrates and devolves/evolves into subtle new forms, enhanced by harmonic reverb and spacial delay.
