The King of Noise, holding a single note. Triple Echo is the drone project Jojo Hiroshige reportedly carried in mind for some thirty years before committing it to record, gathered here in a complete three-CD set spanning all three volumes.

The premise is austere and exact: from one sustained guitar tone, three distinct strands of sound are drawn out and set quietly trembling against one another, the listener pulled into the slow interference patterns and beat frequencies between them. For an artist who built his name on the all-consuming density of Hijokaidan, it is a striking inversion - extremity reached not through volume but through patience, reduction and an almost meditative focus on a single sound source.

Across the three volumes the method deepens into a language. The first establishes the premise, the second narrows the focus until the small fluctuations inside a held tone become the whole event, and the third pushes the studies toward something close to trance. The lineage runs through minimalist feedback and the long tradition of guitar drone, but the touch is unmistakably Hiroshige's. Issued by Alchemy Records, the complete cycle in one place.
