Yolo

by

Tetsu Inoue

 
  • We Say...

    The latest effort from Japanese electronic composer Tetso Inoue is made up of mere whiskers of sound. The songs are skeletal and deceptively simple: small pinpricks of electronics twinkle across dark empty space, haunting and serene. Inoue is a master of small gesture; each of the songs on Yolo is made up of just a few elements, but Inoue knows how to place them in a way that makes them sound mighty and imposing. A single band of sound (an orchestra tuning? The slowed-down sound of a busy intersection?) stretches across the center of "Remote", and though it's only a tiny cluster of notes Inoue makes it sound as vast and as bright as the Milky Way. Yolo is gorgeous, stirring music, another fine entry in the catalog of a master.
