about

MAGNO is a compilation of pieces written over the past seven or so years which I feel complement one another with their moods, ensembles, and structures. The album's name, as with numerous track titles, is made up, and evokes for me imagery alike the album art's oculus, which shows a rounded cosmos beyond a material framework.

Because of the wide span of time, there are certain disparities -- perhaps, to some, flaws; or indicators of a changing craft. In several pieces, there are vestiges of older sounds: for example, the "keyboard" solo in Carpet of Gold, or the coda for Signs of Water. You might also pick out a few playful musical references to others' work here and there.

I began writing -- naively putting together -- music at a time when dance music felt to me still exciting and central, and so my output then was EDM-oriented. Although MAGNO's material can rarely be categorized as straight EDM (whatever that might mean to you), I think its emphases on motor rhythms and large, resonant leads and pads reveal those origins.

My musical inspirations (not always apparent) and thanks go to: Rei Harakami, Yasuhisa Watanabe, Isao Tomita, Johann Sebastian Bach, Allan Holdsworth, Mirco de Govia, Dirty Loops, Masashi Hamauzu, Pat Metheny, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Steve Reich, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ryo Yonemitsu, Lyle Mays, Shinji Hosoe, Domenico Scarlatti, Tamayo Kawamoto, and Yuji Takenouchi.
