Details:

Luis means “Light” in Armenian and Nanook is “white bear” in Inuit. Luis Nanook is a duo comprised of Tsutomu Satachi (vocal / acoustic guitar) who is a singer songwriter gifted with his angelic voice and Chihei Hatakeyama (Sound Processing / Electric Guitar) who is known for his beautiful releases on worldwide labels such as Kranky (US).

The album reminds us of the magnificent and silent landscape of Siberia with the taste of 60~70’s folk sounds. After extensive experiments and trials, they have succeeded in packaging the utmost of their character which sounds truly deep and diverse immersing the audiences into an one and only experience.

The nostalgic echos of the acoustic guitar and myriads of tiny and colorful electronic ambience makes a beautiful contrast with Tsutomu’s husky and tender voice brining up heartfelt moments.

What makes Luis Nanook so fascinating is their simplicity in the structure focusing on the vocals with limited instruments yet leaving us with variety of impressions. And this album just goes on quietly like one piece of a tale. The birth of the newest 2010 folk sound.

Description (Japanese):
“時間”をテーマにしたアンビエント・アルバム。
有形、無形?概念、変化?
”時間”は我々人間の行動のすべてを支配する一方で、その捉え方、個々の時間は人により全く違う意味を持って存在します。
好きな時間、安らぐ時間、不安な時間、時間による変化、記憶、忘却・・・
…… 時間を音にしたら?
そんな閃きがアルバム制作のきっかけになりました。
10人の音楽家が”時間”に想いを巡らせ書き下ろした全10曲は、静謐な残像を重ねながらゆるやかな時間の流れを創り出します。
様々なアプローチによって作られた深遠かつ抒情に満ちたアンビエント・サウンドをご堪能ください。
アルバム・コンセプト
我々は時間という概念の基に生きている。
時間 – すべての生き物、そして宇宙までもが時間に支配されているともいえるが、それは変化であって時間ではない -
時間は絶対的な機軸として存在する一方、その瞬間は人によって全く違う意味を成して存在している。
アンビエント・オブ・タイム – 時間の環境
人は時間をどのように捉えているのだろう。
そして、それを音にしたらいったい……
