Takashi Kokubo (小久保隆) - Tokyo ～ Noise Aesthetics (騒音美学) ～ (1992) [Full Album]

[@234pg786]

i very badly want to see pictures of Takashi walking around with clunky old analog equipment to record all of these sounds

[@appidydafoo]

Same, when I visualize this scenario, I am reminded of the Gargoyle from Stephenson's Snow Crash

[@aquiatic]

thank you algorithm gods, thank you uploader, thank you Takashi Kokubo

[@rawbinmo]

This album is so cool. So original and unique and awesome. I love it.

[@jeremyacton4569]

I see a new Takashi Kokubo upload in my subscription, I click on it faster than light!!!! This one is a surprise. A more driven, mechanized, urban soundscape/energy than his nature soundscapes. Many thanks for this interesting, beautiful music.Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@flyingdragonsdownwest7922]

for sure, seeing that name guarantees quality. Love it. Myself too am finding this quite different to the other stuff I know. Nice bit of funk going on

[@tophario1492]

Mmm

[@timeandspace7460]

wow my favourite one so far from Kokubo! Love his symbiotic approach of ambient/field recording/electronic music on this work. thank you for sharing

[@gjungart]

The sound at times reminds me of Bjork's debut, anyone else? I absolutely love Takashi Kokubu bless you for introducing me 🙏

[@lunguan4963]

Yeah it's got some similar house beats

[@lukebingus9432]

Woah really?? What Bjork music is most like this would you say?

[@lunguan4963]

@@lukebingus9432 "Theres more to life than this" sounds a bit similar in my opinion :)

[@kokoronosekai]

totally agree! i thought exactly the same when i heard the first theme

[@iAussieGuy]

Noisy seaside gives me a sense of wonder and nostalgia, this whole album is really neat it's nice to hear him do something dancy

[@Huseberry]

Oh wow it can be played. It was blocked for a while, can't wait to listen to it all. EDIT: The train jingles when it arrives at a stop are so nostalgic of when I was there. How it's implemented into the music at 3:33 is great.

[@earlysda]

Nostalgic.

[@moussetache1815]

OK this is one of the best, thank you SBA.

[@mindthemoods]

Kokubo's use of sound is just so intriguing. This is the kind of guy who hears music in the bustle of a city.

[@grannps]

So cool that Kokubo took his sound to the technological world, the scope of his vision is so impressive

[@dabulls1g]

[@paqallqu1182]

I don’t know how to deal with the rest of my default type of music after this sound

[@paqallqu1182]

Veintitrés años me tomó descubrirlo.

[@boymachine9000]

I love hearing noise

[@tomasdelprado3716]

beautiful! for moments it sounds like donkey kong country 3

[@tegridy9569]

Thanks! Perfect music to read Murakami to.

[@TheSeppentoni]

If you need the ride the bullet train, but you want to do it in a groovy manner.

[@timdrage]

ok this is NOT what I expected from a Japanese CD with photocopy-ish artwork and 'Noise' in the title :D

[@cristian.ilie.018]
