How can we catch up with the past when it begins to overwhelm the present? This 1971 recording is the beginning of Ranta’s life as a percussionist and composer. Recorded mostly in Tokyo’s Azabu-Juban district, this album combines percussion and field recording and analog synthesis for two very long tracks that are completely realized. There’s a spoken section that sounds like it could be Ranta talking about himself, someone saying his life didn’t begin until he arrived “here.” Azabu sounds like that kind of real awakening.
