Takeshi Nishimoto, Hiroshi Watanabe

Curving Time is what happens when two musicians spend over a decade circling the same question from opposite directions, and finally sit down to answer it together. Sunshine Yellow cassette in a smoke tinted case with screen printed white title in custom Spaciousness font. Sleeve notes with artists image of playground in liminal Tokyo. 

Takeshi Nishimoto and Hiroshi Watanabe have individually spent more than twenty years exploring the emotional reach of instrumental music - one through guitar, sarod, and acoustic composition, the other through synthesizers and electronic production. This, their first collaborative release, unites these parallel journeys revealing a musical language where neither electronics nor acoustic instruments take center stage. A sinuous, luminous album which is wholly its own, full of clarity and space where celestial shards illuminate and delight, lingering long after the last note dies away, with each player becoming equal voices in a deeply atmospheric conversation that feels both inevitable and entirely new.
