Young Japanese composer Yuichiro Fujimoto found a warm welcome for his music with the Audio Dregs label in Portland, Oregon in the US. The album 'Kinoe' released was bereft of any yahoo. If I'm right 'Kinoe' could prove a milestone to posterity. 'Kinoe' is a full-length album of the type which only talented debutants put on offer. Like 'Ulysses' this may reflect one day only but Fujimoto captures a life-span of experiences in just three quarters of an hour. 'Kinoe' consists of predominantly acoustic sounds elaborated on a computer. Not characteristic to your life probably, Fujimoto though unfolds the timeline of a wanderer in the electromagnetic fields. This home recorded album reflects on childhood memories of growing up in serenity. Its first notes are the hardest ones. The shattering of the brain for a mere few seconds was only intended there to push you back into your swinging chair. Fujimoto stands at the crossroads of disharmonic clashing chords and lullabies. Just like I did whilst listening, you rock back and forth during puzzled moments. Yuichiro Fujimoto catches your attention when you listen to the comfort that's set in his noisy on the surface work-outs on the keyboards. 'Kineo' is not how you will like your day to start. Its confusion should not build your breakfast diet, but still you should digest 'Kinoe' to the full. This homemade album is the orchestration of scenes from disturbing and joyful moments in Fujimoto's life that have received a little polish, a great sequence plus a friendly if not subdued final mix. Yuichiro Fujimoto used lost and found sounds and from those has composed a concept of eerie elektro-acoustics. 'Kinoe' is how you might like the day to be rounded off with.'Kinoe' has been with me, on me, in me, and I pray, for me for months now and I'm still fascinated by this album's mysterious beauty. It is without barriers of langauge ; 'Kinoe' features little to no narratives. The album's main attraction is that of nursery rhymes set to an ever evolving pattern of found noises. In the still of your lonely hour, you will grow attached to 'Kinoe'.
