We are proud to present a split release featuring the music of Yasuyuki Uesugi and gaop. The result is a harmonious blending of two distinct schools of electronic music, finding a shared frequency between the abrasive and the ethereal.

| Split album by Yasuyuki Uesugi and gaop. |
Yasuyuki Uesugi offers layered, textured, and repetitive works of sound art that feel deeply ritualistic. His contributions honor the long-standing tradition of Japanese noise, but they do so with a violent yet sophisticated sense of pacing. These aren't just walls of sound; they are shifting environments where the texture itself becomes the melody, drawing the listener into a trance-like state through rhythmic density.
On the other side of the split, gaop brings a different variation to the table. This work exists in the realm of electronic ambient, but it is heavily informed by classical, minimalist, and avant-garde sensibilities. There is a "surgical" precision to the arrangements here, where silence and space are used as effectively as the sound itself. It provides a necessary counterweight to the intensity of the opening half, leaning into a more contemplative, structured form of experimentation.
The juxtaposition of these two approaches creates a unique tension, one side pushing outward with noise, the other pulling inward with minimalism. May this combination be a blessing to your ears and a testament to the infinite possibilities of electronic sound.
