𝘝𝘌”
It’s called ‘With Love’ because it was made with it. Initially, I had no intention of creating an EP, I was just making songs for myself, something my ears would enjoy, and before I knew it, I already had 5 songs ready. I really enjoyed the process of experimenting with my Game Boy, trying to get a more analog tech sound, and not be so connected to arcade machines, which is what 8-bit music is usually compared to. But I also wanted that aggressive noise and punk sound that the early works of Crystal Castles have, which I believe is a very noticeable inspiration in my music.

A black drone ambient album inspired by traveling in the wilderness

You start something – and stop it – but don’t finish. Unceasing conclusions linger, demanding an addendum of effort and tailpiece of thought. But the end is final, even if incomplete, and we are not afforded such supplementary luxuries. Experience, create, and accept.
Featuring clarinet.

[VSS_158] Virtual Soundsystem Records – 2024
Nine months later Takuro Takeda returns with another beautiful EP with just 4 tracks.
These are deliciously down-tempo arrangements, which, when allowed to stretch to five minutes lock the listener into a deep and fantastical daydream.
A collection of four tracks that’s more like a kind of therapy, if that doesn’t sound too New Age – Takeda’s music is much more epic and expansive and emotionally reflective than New Age.
In other words, if you listen BoC you’ll like Takeda’s music.
What a strange “Best Of” ?
“Electromotorik Hardtek for Post-Industrial lovers”
Outrageous long for a best of indeed, but how to make a smaller one with such a project ?
I wanted to make it since few years in fact, but it’s only with the DRACO accident that I understood I’ve got the final piece of this puzzle. I recorded a two hours session with my very enjoyable new set, I listened it and it was pretty like a new start for the project, but the morning after when I wanted to edit it, I was no more able to listen it, the sd card had a problem, and after the fix the data was moved on another track impossible to be read. Then I only had the seven last minutes on another track, this is this DRACO track. So I kept only that rescued part and decided that it’s fine like this. What would have been able to do with so many music when the two parts of METAVERSE are already 6h long ? I had planned to add already 2 other unreleased tracks Night And Day & Day And Night, but more would have been too much.
I need to explain a little the origin of this project it was at a time I noticed that in the concerts as well than beer drinkers only need a drummer for enjoy the music,
the same way the ravers only need a bumper. That’s why the early steps were without any rhythm at all. From this kind of enjoyable challenge came something like forty cassette tapes of improvisation called “Agonies”.
The reason of the name is because of the electric charge I was receiving while playing, doing the junction with my fingers in the electric circuit of old toy synthesizers.
It was a strange sensation, this electric venom making my glottis curl up all the session long. Next I began to use an electric frequency generator.
Strange “best of” because there is none of this agony tapes. From the early time I only kept two tracks from Necktar compilation. So no one will ear early tapes like the insane concerto for whales or the last state of euphoria…
Also in electronic music there is often remix albums, a way to connect with friends :
S K U M / Berthelot / Damaryliss / Flying Species / KHAOMAN / MARUDA / ardleg / Planetaldol / M. Nomized. The upgrade album being done by Studio112.
For METAVERSE, You have a first part track 01 to 17 only solo.
and the second part 18 to 33 with friends.

In the time we have, there is much to appreciate. Fresh angles are precious, as it is easy to fall into a seeming sameness. Though ultimately we tend to opt for comfort, the journey to other perspectives is what gives contentment context. Music is multifaceted.
Featuring clarinet.

About the album:
———————————————————————————————-
“This is a story about a foolish mage and apprentice who are tasked with summoning beasts from alternate dimensions to wage war. Unfortunately the apprentice goes digging into his master’s research and decides to try and summon himself a girlfriend, which ends up snowballing into him causing the apocalypse. Samples are all the
beats that felt more magical and synthy that I found while plundering.”

About the artist:
———————————————————————————————-
“I started Sqvire mainly to explore new visual styles with no rules: whatever I think is cool. I have admired the barber beats movement from afar for a while, and was finally moved to start plundering lo-fi beats from discovering undersaken’s “cope for lack of meaning” series. Since starting though I’ve developed a love for many more styles of music and plan to experiment a lot sonically and visually. It’s all fueled by excitement and love for the music and art I’m discovering.”

“This, our second album, is a collection of synthesized short pieces.
Whether you deem them abstractions due to their strange harmonic contents, or figurative of strange places, is up to you. The key word here is “atmosphere”. They convey no message, they were not created with any intent.
In saying what they’re not, we’re saying they are pure imagination at play. They deal with mental images and perceptions, before language creates order – and falsehoods – out of the plasma of free association.
During their making we never discussed them, bar a few technical points ; never defined them, never worded anything. We never ever mentioned we were actually “doing” them, and really discovered them afterwards.
Of course, we will never succeed in saying nothing. We’re subjects. And the very fact we have to write something about it is the heart of the paradox. But at least we can try. We all deserve a good vacation from meaning. There are other forces at play, like sound.”

Precise and detailed calculations can be unnerving – unerringly uncanny results we know are right, yet feel are somehow off. The universe is parsimonious, and so we expect pithy causes and succinct structures. But information has layers – apparent complexity underlies organization that our intuitions may miss.
This 29/16 track features synthesizers, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, piano, and effects.
