Leo Okagawa - Something Veiled
<a href="http://unfathomless.bandcamp.com/album/something-veiled">Leo Okagawa - Something Veiled<br /> <br /> This work consists of recorded materials at ‘Abukuma’ and ‘Irimizu’ limestone caves on Abukuma highland, Fukushima.<br /> Water is plentiful there, and we can see a long waterfall near our route in Irimizu limestone cave.<br /> Both caves are developed and open for public as tourist spots, however, there are some areas that require a guide to enter, and some others prohibited.<br /> And also, they are still under survey and possibilities are pointed out that deeper spaces than the deepest spots we recognize now exist.<br /> <br /> I visited there on October 2018 and January 2019, and brought my small recording set to carry and record in narrow spaces.<br /> My aim with this work is not recording sounds in these caves just as archives, but transforming what I was much impressed with into an audio piece.<br /> Lots of inaudible things are also included in temperature, humidity, weight of atmosphere.<br /> These are what my skin felt.<br /> Therefore, I thought I need to record what we often overlook.<br /> Waters that fall from stalactites or run down the walls, a subtle hum from lighting equipment , echoes of my shoe soles on wet floors…<br /> I recorded sounds from various distances and angles and mixed them in multilayers.<br /> <br /> The length of this work is shorter than the time I spent in those caves, but I would be glad if I could share what I felt there.<br /> <br /> (Leo Okagawa, 31 July 2019)<br /> <br /> <br /> LOCATIONS : 'Abukuma' and 'Irimizu' limestone caves, Abukuma Highlands, Fukushima, Japan.<br /> <br /> Recorded and mixed 2018-2019.<br /> <br /> Cover design & treatments by Daniel Crokaert.<br /> Based exclusively on photos by Leo Okagawa and Jun Okagawa.<br /> Portrait by Jun Okagawa.</a>
