The Endless Talking

Haruomi Hosono

1985
Monad Records

Composed for an Italian art exhibit entitled “Japan, Avant Garde of the Future,” Hosono is in full abstract mode here. The 13 pieces were improvised by him while he gazed at photographs of sculptures from the show, conjuring disorienting and mesmerizing miniatures. Satie-esque miniatures abut more eerie terrain, gurgling loops and quivering high frequency bagatelles entwine with brittle crystalline explorations.
