ariad-favs The care given to the textures and atmosphere make this EP very haunting. The feel to explore an abandoned transmission station is perfectly rendered. Favorite track: 3_antenna.

about

LW is a long wave and is rarely broadcast now.
I happened to visit the remains of a long wave
transmitting station that was in operation before
and after World War II.
Because of its powerful output and wavelength,
everything from the oscillator to the antenna is huge
and looks like a weapon.
On the other hand, my production is currently in a simple
environment with a Mac and MIDI controllers due to moving.
The actual machines such as synths and modules are
still in cardboard boxes.
I dared to express the solid feeling I received at
the transmitting station with this virtual constraint.
That said, I wanted to make the changes in history
into sounds, rather than giving meaning to the sounds
in a realistic way.
Also, I made a download appendix of what I saw
at the transmission station.

Dedicated to Ryuichi Sakamoto
