The coronavirus was spreading globally, and the situation was gradually changing into something very serious. With no gigs scheduled and hardly seeing anyone, I felt as if my spirit was in a slightly deeper place than usual during the production. I sat down in front of my equipment as if I were dropping a fishing line into a quiet lake. I kept feeling that something new was lurking beneath the water surface. I was trying to catch that something that seemed to be just out of reach, that floated in and out of sight like a speck of smoke. “\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e＿Referenced from: Afterword of 7FO「Ran - Bouten」\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2021 brings a new album by Osaka electronic musician \/ producer 7FO. This work is a departure from the recent global ambient \/ new age approach, and the unique sound aesthetic created using only hardware equipment is a new frontier of 7FO or a return to his origin. \"Ran - Bouten\" is a new electronic music album with a poetic sensibility using machines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscovered by overseas labels such as RVNG intl., Bokeh Versions, and Metron-and with the release that followed EM Records in his hometown Osaka, it's like his personal folk craft that was\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eonce quietly played at his own pace. Music has reached listeners around the world. In recent years, he has been touring from a famous performance with Tapes at the Belgian \"Meakusma Festival 2019\" to a Japan-Korea tour. \"Ran - Bouten\" was born as a result of facing the sound alone without being asked by anyone to cool down the heat when the steaming and intense experience had settled down. Inside the cool electronic sound like a water bath, you can feel the maker's heart sending hot blood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeep into the condensed universe of a home-recorded miniature world that looks like an independent production of unknown age. He was alone in a dark room, making full use of KAWAI's 1990 digital and FM synthesizers , tracing the shape of nature and resonating the micro and macro sound worlds. The Rhythm and melody that continues to the Paradise Pure Land, which floats in a dreamy atmosphere, is the true value of 7FO even without his guitar play.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003eReleased May 14, 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComposed and Produced by 7FO\u003cbr\u003eRecorded March - June 2020 in Osaka\u003cbr\u003eEquipment used:Elektron Digitakt, Elektron Digitone, Kawai K-1, Kawai K-4\u003cbr\u003eArtwork \u0026amp; design by Hiroaki Hidaka\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Makoto Ohshiro\u003cbr\u003eText by 7FO\u003cbr\u003eEnglish sleeve notes translated by Makoto Ohshiro\u003cbr\u003ePublished by conatala\u003cbr\u003eThanks to Tarako,Jackson Baily,Kei Sakawaki,Takahiro Matsumura(miku-mari)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Contala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53833566814545,"sku":"CONATALA 004","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0433\/9574\/3906\/files\/a3191249777_10.jpg?v=1779395885","url":"https:\/\/very-special.com\/products\/7fo-ran-bouten-1","provider":"VERY SPECIAL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
