Label: VHF Records

70年代後半からキャリアをスタート、ギター即興にエレクトロニクス、フォークまで様々な演奏スタイルを展開、本邦PSFからのリリース、またAcid Mothers Templeでの活動で知られる大ベテラン作家の河端一氏。ヴァイオリン、ケメンチェ、ズルナ、エレクトロニクス、サランギ、太鼓、ゴング、水、ブズーキ、チェロ、バイブ、オルガン、シタール、大量の楽器によるソロ演奏で構成された[INUI 2]。繊細な浮遊感と重厚な持続音が等しく織り交ぜられた個人的激推し作。







INUI 2 was the first widely available solo CD by this prolific Japanese guitarist/composer/bearded guru. Known primarily for his recent work with oddballs Acid Mothers Temple, Kawabata's career actually goes back to the late '70s and spans many styles, including solo guitar improv, electronics, folk, and, of course, the deranged acid mayhem associated with the PSF scene. Performed entirely solo on violin, kemenje, zurna, electronics, sarangi, taiko, gong, water, bouzouki, cello, vibes, organ, and sitar, the four tracks that make up INUI 2 are perfectly executed dream-music, equal parts delicately floating and heavily droning. There's also one all-too-short modal essay for bouzouki that is amazingly beautiful.

1: Violin, kemenje, zurna, electronics
2: Sarangi, taiko, gong, water
3: bouzouki, cello, vibe, organ
4: bowed sitar, violin, electric sitar, electronics
