After a decade-long hiatus, acclaimed electronic composer Nobukazu Takemura returns with Knot Of Meanings, his first full-length release since 2014's Zeitraum. Meticulously crafted over seven years at Moonlit Studio from 2017-2024, this 18-track opus showcases Takemura's singular ability to create complex compositions that evoke childlike wonder and curiosity.
The album features Takemura's signature computerized voices singing in haunting childlike cadences, particularly evident on tracks like "neri," creating an atmosphere that is both unnerving and deeply moving. This indie exclusive clear vinyl pressing from Thrill Jockey captures the full depth of Takemura's intricate soundscapes, from the ethereal "luminous seeping through the crevices" to the multi-part "deep sea's rainbow" suite that closes the album with ambient brilliance.
