Duet

by Tomoyoshi Date and Bill Seaman

supported by

orlandolovekill ...the fragile emotion of sound collaboration across time, space, and presented here with drifting meaning...to us...listeners as observers, present...before an intimate ballet in a soft-lit room...

Ur Trommler Attended the deeply moving listening party for this release and fell in love with it... deftly performed by two masters, these tracks weave tales and complement each other in such a lovely way... highly recommended!
Favorite track: Duet 3.

Editions Vaché Utterly gorgeous- music for contemplation, no contemplation, moving, resting, standing still, -well, for anytime, anyhow......deeply layered keyboard and microsound duets- where atmospheres are elevated to the highest degree though the shared deep listening of both artists.........ss/tm/am Favorite track: Duet 3.

So happy to say the next album in the quiet details series is a creation born from the collaboration of two wonderful artists, Tomoyoshi Date and Bill Seaman.

Individually, both artists have extensive discographies, stretching back many years
and known for a cerebral and deeply musical approach to their work.

Tomoyoshi, solo and in collaboration (with the likes of Corey Fuller, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto, Federico Durand and Chihei Hatakeyama), with beautiful releases on labels such as LAAPS, 12k, Home Normal, Dauw, White Paddy Mountain and more.

Bill, also a consummate collaborator (with Craig Tattersall, Off The Sky, Stephen Vitiello, Tim Diagram, Stephen Spera. Michael Grigoni, Xu and more), releasing stunning albums on Room40, Longform Editions, LAAPS, oscarson, Fluid Audio, Eilean Recs, Cotton Goods and others.

Together they’ve made something of astounding beauty - a masterclass in electro- acoustic composition, centred around the piano and all its nuances.

Working by slowly passing ideas back and forth, and influenced by Bill’s work with Wei Ping Lin of the Austrian Symphony and James Chu (who both feature on the album), and progressing while Tomoyoshi was heavily involved with the incredible Ryuichi Sakamoto Micro Ambient Music project - over time the album gradually took shape.

Building on an innate and natural understanding of each other, piano improvisations and sonic abstractions layer with violin and clarinet to form richly detailed soundscapes, full of micro-ambience and elegant textures.

You can feel how in-tune these two instinctive and highly-skilled musicians are with every passing moment - everything so carefully and precisely constructed while feeling completely natural and perfectly formed.

Along with piano, the micro-sounds are fundamental to this music - the fragments from the recording process, deliberately and meticulously prepared to show the listener a whole world of subtlety - delicate and arising from silence, this is a graceful and vivid experience for the senses.
So pleased to share it with you, a gorgeous album of breathtaking beauty.

Huge thanks to Tomoyoshi and Bill for everything, a wonderful addition to the series.
The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album - originating from a photo from Tomoyoshi and Bill which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.

As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.

The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, representing the music in its purest form.
