Hanzo Hasashi – Ikigai (CD)
Flag Day Recordings – FDR58 - 2021 - USA. Listen: https://flagdayrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/ikigai
"After the intense 2020 tape "Tykoching vs. Gamera", Hanzo Hasashi's brand of cinematic, surgically accurate and twitching cut ups continues with "Ikigai" ("a reason for being"). This Japanese concept refers to having a direction or purpose in life, providing a sense of fulfillment and towards which they the person may take actions, giving them satisfaction and a sense of meaning. Hanzo Hasashi is an artist involved in the areas of cut-up harsh noise mixed with field recordings, ambient, jazz, industrial and modern electronic music. Each of his albums show a different style and approach, bringing something new and surprising to the listener. Digisleeve."
