A pioneer in the distinctly Japanese sonics of "environmental" sound design, composer Takashi Kokubo began his solo career in the early 1980s, making synthesizer compositions inspired by classical music in the vein of fellow Japanese composer Isao Tomita, but across the following decades, his productions would pay deep homage to the sounds of the natural world and its spiritually soothing properties – as both inspiration for his music, and as a prominent feature in the music itself.

Least Carpet

Least Carpet

Least Carpet has been played on NTS in shows including Bureau B, featured first on 4 August 2023. Songs played include Vaguely August .

When you listen to Least Carpet for the first time it will remind you of something you already know, but at first it’s blurry and then you get pictures. Pictures of sitting on a hill top in the fresh blooming meadow. You smell the weed and maybe yourself, you listen to the birdsongs and hear tiny bells ringing. On the left side, downhill you get a glimpse of some small village, on the right side: your sheep. You pick up your self carved flute and whistle with the birds. A romantic notion? Yes, but what about the fact that the magic mushrooms you’ve found in the grass beside you, start to take effect right know?

It’s obvious that the atmosphere of Least Carpet’s music is influenced by these images. Images you may know from early eastern European (fairy-tale) movies. The memories of being in the countryside, laying in the grass, overwelmed by feelings induced by some strange herbs you’ve smoked the first time. Rich coloured, rough-textured and filigrane at the same time, like the paintings of Marc Chagall.
