about

YUKO ARAKI's first EP originally released from Gerpfast Raw Tape Division in Malang, Indonesia on 30th January 2019
gerpfastkolektif.bandcamp.com/album/--5

"For the A-side of “Ⅰ”, I was aiming to compose a more poppy lo-fi sound, just using my voice and my little broken down synth. I was so excited to be performing at Jogja Noise Bombing festival 2019 in Indonesia when I was recording it, so it was inspired by my anticipation of how much of a fun time I would have. For the B-side I wanted to make the track using quintuplets and feedback, and this continues on “Ⅱ” as well. I also had the ambition to record dis-tempered harmonic drone for “Ⅱ”.

「『I』のA面では、自分の声と壊れかけたシンセを使って、ポップでローファイな音作りを目指しました。出演が決まっていた今年1月のインドネシア“Jogja Noise Bombing Festival 2019”に向けてのリリースだったので、現地にいる自分がどんなに楽しいかを想像して、わくわくしながら作りました。B面のテーマにした5拍子とフィードバックは『II』にも続き、『II』ではさらに12平均律に捕らわれない和音を作ろうと考えました」
