While his first two records ‘The Nothings of The North’ and ‘All is Silence’ continue to grow acclaim, Ametsub is set to release new EP.
This rare Array Mbira (custom made) centered record is the most conceptual release from Ametsub to date. Instead of relying on the traditional composition based on overdubbing, it boasts the dynamic basslines and intricate beat, completed with the variety of effects including the state-of-the-art reverb. Despite the mysterious and complex tone of the mbira, this record never fall into the exoticism of world music. The mbira's enchanting melody melt into a dreamy ambience, and the way it merges with the repetitive rhythm is like a mysterious trip to the unknown world. Ametsub has always separated himself from the trend, and he’s going to prove his unique vision once again with this concept EP.
It’s completed with 2 superb remixes from Seefeel (Warp Records) and Austin Cesear (Opal Tapes, Proibito), also Ametsub edited metal beast/l’usine rmx - Upcgriqr.

「The Nothings of The North」や「All is Silence」と、ロングセールスを記録するAmetsubの新しいEPをリリース致します。
今作はAmetsubとしては初めてとも言えるコンセプチュアルな作品となっており、まだ日本に2~3台しか存在しない楽器、アレイ・ムビラをフィーチャーしています。演奏したものを録音して重ねるという普遍的な構築方法に頼らず、Ametsubなりの解釈を感じるエフェクトが加えられ、増幅された流麗なムビラの残響音、そこに重めの低音やビートを織り交ぜた、実験的なポップとして完成されています。ムビラ特有の異質で少し難解な響きを持ち、しかし民族音楽の方向からは逸脱し、美しいアンビエンスと反復されるリズムの間で、ムビラのフェティシズムな倍音と独特なメロディーが揺れ動き、未知と夢幻を彷徨うような作品に仕上がっています。時代とは相違なる視点を常に試みてきたAmetsub初の企画盤EPのリリースです。
さらにWarp RecordsからSeefeelと、Opal TapesやAnthony NaplesのProibitoからリリース歴を持つAustin Cesearのリミックス、Ametsubエディットによるmetal beast/l'usine - Upcgriqrも収録しました。
