Press Release- “Made In Japan” New Album by ConfettiTsunami

MANCHESTER,UK-After travelling through Japan and making extensive field recordings of places and events in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, ConfettiTsunami returned back to Manchester with an idea to turn these into a travelogue.

“Made in Japan” evolved organically from this original idea. Interweaving the field recordings with compositions written whilst in Japan, and developing them back home in Manchester, ConfettiTsunami creates music that drifts between experimental electronica and dance music.

Crafted out of passion and a yearning to relive the familiar, and inspired by electronic luminaries such as Boards Of Canada, Aphex Twin and Oneohtrix Point never, ‘Made In Japan ‘ is a nostalgic trip of a real life experience that is both reflective and sincere; an album that any fans of electronic music won’t want to miss.

Album available from; https://confettitsunami.bandcamp.com/album/made-in-japan  For more Information, promotional requests or to arrange an interview contact Directly via Artist@confettitsunami.co.uk or visit www.confettitsunami.com.

This will be a collection of improvised and generative music with wild track recordings of spaces unlike other stuff I have done before. Designed more to provide an accompaniment to the Leigh’s ART Market rather than the centerpiece of it. Feel free to come in at any point and have a listen and a look at some of the art work throughout the two days and 10 hours of music. Over this time I will be accompanied by other musicians throughout who will all add their own unique styles to the music. I will let you know more about them closer to the time.

It’s been a long time since I posted any of my own music to the site and for that I’m sorry. I have been working on stuff for quite some time and have a backlog of material that is in limbo. I will have more news on future releases in the coming months and thank you for your patience.

All the best,
CT

 

Album: Winter

The cover to my first album

My new years resolution, to make and release a track each week for the year is going well. I thought it was time to compile the first 12 into a winter collection album available to anyone through bandcamp. It’s a pay what you like policy so feel free to download it and tell me what you think of the tracks. You can listen to them all below or click on the link to download them through bandcamp:

Weekly Beats 11: Whale to the Moon

Week 11 (Whale to the Moon)

This track is inspired in part by video game music from the RPG’s of the 16bit, 32bit and Playstation era. I have been a fan of video game composers especially Nobuo Uematsu for a long time.

Their work ethic puts my one track a week project to shame, In later iterations of Final Fantasy for the Playstation hundreds of tracks were produced for a single game with a limited pallet of sounds and a short timeframe, yet the quality of the composition still shines through.

On Wail to the Moon I tried to replicate some of those sounds but add a bit more modern production to the piece. Listen to it by following the link below and tell me what you think:

Weekly Beats 8: Hunter, Killer

Week 8 Hunter, Killer

This Track Is my entrance into Novations Music competition every sound is made from the free novation sample library available currently on their site.
I used a total of 16 Drum samples and 5 other samples to make the entire tune. Changing the processing of these samples Every 16 bars to alter the tone of the track. The aim was to try to make something slightly ominous which gets more oppressive as the track shifts forward.

You can hear the track below:

New Track: Week 7 (We March On!)

week7 (we march on)

Week sevens piece was a little rushed as I ran out of time making the track I aimed to do. I had to improvise by performing an old piece live, recording and then releasing is straight to weekly beats.

The Piece was created as part of a soundtrack for the film El Eco del Dolor de Mucha Gente, which I composed. Although it was my favourite piece it didn’t find a place in the film and has been on the shelf since. Maybe with some more time I will arrange it for more instruments but currently it will stay on piano.

You can here the track for week 7 below:

Weekly Beats 6: Sorry Emily

Week6 (sorry Emily)

I’ve just realised my complacency when looking at my site. I have only posted the tracks I have been making up to week 5. I’m Now at week 9 so need to step up my game and make you aware of them all which I will do over this week.

The track for week 6 is a slower more insular ambient piece of music made on the Teenage Engineering OP-1 which was then mixed down with ableton live:
