Osafune

by Betts(JP)

supported by

PadraigC Beautiful ambient drone release with distilled field recording which pulses with gentle, restrained energy.
All five tracks are amazing and make up a very enjoyable listening experience.
Do read the sleeve notes too... Favorite track: Osafune 01.

Bronster Bridge To some extent, the drone's sound is very refined. The sound textures are imbued with light notes of urban space at the beginning and warmer ones, namely nature, from the middle

— Captain Bridge / Jupiter in Capricorn 🚀

Favorite track: Osafune 03.

about

Betts(JP) is an artist based in Japan.　His music is inspired by the sounds he has recorded in various places, especially in the area where he lives. The sounds consist of field recordings and guitar samples. One of the characteristics of his work is that it is almost devoid of personal thought. The concept of his work is to thoroughly express the landscape through sound.

Betts(JP) did a field recording under the bridge girder of the Shinkansen in a town called Osafune. The Shinkansen is Japan's high-speed railroad. He aimed to capture the moment when the roar of the bullet train drowned out the sound of water flowing in the river and the voices of birds and insects.

This is a rural town where Japanese swords have been handed down as a traditional craft since ancient times, and it is blessed with rich nature and kind people. Tradition has always been sincerely preserved, not only in crafts, but also in the agricultural and food industries.
