Isolation solitude contemplation. These are the themes that discreetly weave
their way through Disappearance the first collaboration album between 12k s
Taylor Deupree and pioneering electronic composer and pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto
The two began their musical dialogue in 2006 when Deupree was invited to remix a
song from Sakamoto s album Chasm. World Citizen was the song and it sparked
continued collaboration as Deupree contributed to two of Sakamoto s activist
projects: Chain Music and KizunaWorld (as a trio with Sakamoto and Stephen
Vitiello.) With the convenience of both artists living in New York they kept in
touch released music on 12k (Willits + Sakamoto s Ocean Fire) and in April of
2012 performed live together at John Zorn s club The Stone. It was this concert
that planted the seeds for Disappearance
The initial tracks for Disappearance were recorded at Sakamoto s studio in New
York City during rehersals for the April concert. The two immediately entered
the same sonic mindframe that lead to hours of concentrated hushed music
Sakamoto s piano playing both traditional and prepared emerged as perhaps some
of his most beautifully sparse in recent years letting the sound of the room
and shuffle of chairs take an active roll in the recording. Only the most
minimum of essential notes accentuated by silences and the scraping of the
piano s strings plays alongside Deupree s nuanced passages created with
analogue synthesizers strings and found objects. These warm human tones
became the means of communication between the two artists who effortlessly
created a musical language
The five tracks that make up Disappearance are delicate and composed however
they re not all peacefulness and placidity. Micro-tuned edges bursts of noise
percussive prepared piano and the warble of old reel-to-reel tape keep the mood
grounded and warm turning it inward and asking the listener to reflect on their
path. Curl To Me the album s final piece is highlighted by the sounds of
Ichiko Aoba a major up-and-coming singersongwriter from Tokyo. Both Sakamoto
and Deupree have recently worked with Aoba in Japan and wanted her presence felt
on the album. Emphasizing the solitude and stillness of the recordings Aoba
provided both her voice and the almost disturbingly intimate sound of her own
heartbeat
Disappearance is a soundtrack for holding breaths. Sakamoto and Deupree lay down
worn roads but don t leave signs for a journey woven together by the quiet
celebration of the fragility of nature and life
