Toshiya Tsunoda (was: labels)

[Howard Stelzer <hstelzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whoever it was who was excited about Intransitive's upcoming Tsunoda CD... 
thanks! Me too.  ;)

Some words about the guy: I am particularly impressed that Tsunoda has 
developed his own very personal sonic vocabulary across three (four if you 
count the one upcomin' on Intransitive) CDs and an LP using ONLY ONE CONTACT 
MICROPHONE. That's it. Well, that and some awe-inspiring mastering and many 
brilliant (and painstakingly well thought-out) choices of subject matter. 
That he does it while maintaining an air of utter detachment from his 
creations is even more incredible. He prob'ly doesn't even regard the result 
of his recordings as "music", but it undoubtedly is.

One contact-mic. If I limited myself to one contact mic, I'd just sound 
stupid. Tsunoda discovers raw, gut beauty with a single small silver disc 
and some air vibrations... man oh man...


(does this sound like a press release? Crap, I'm sorry, I don't mean it to. 
When I'm excited, I sound like a press release. I'm seeking help, I assure 
you...)
