about

VOLOKRecords presents to your attention Summons Of Shining Ruins project with the album "Earth Shadow" by the excellent Japanese musician Shinobu Nemoto.
We asked the author to tell a little about himself.

My name is Shinobu Nemoto, and I was born and raised in Japan.
Summons of Shining Ruins is named after my three-year-old memory.
When I was three years old, I disappeared and was in front of a large, burnt-down building quite far from my home.
The burnt-down building had many windows and countless cracks in the windowpanes.
It was probably evening, and the cracked windows of the building glittered yellow in the setting sun. It seemed to me that the building was some kind of ruins. Since then, the memory has been suddenly recalled over and over again, and it is still vividly recalled.
I liked light and felt that the color of light was yellow, so yellow became a special color for me. So when I was a child, I always painted only yellow.
Summons of Shining Ruins are often recorded through personal memory references or added meaning to music created.
It is technically recorded by multi-recording.
My mother is a classical music enthusiast, and music has been around me since I was a child. I first composed music when I was 13 years old. I started because I wanted to hear something strange that I usually feel. It was done on the piano and everything was recorded. Because I really liked to hear the recorded sound back. Early recorded sounds had a very primitive sound. It has a great influence on me right now.
Since then, I have become interested in recording equipment and have tried many devices and DAWs. As a result, I chose an analog device. Because there is no excess in digital. The excess of analog is an important part of my composition method.
Now I use an electric guitar to record songs.
It started at the age of 14. The guitar I use is Stratocaster.
At first, I liked the sound of Strato's front pickup, but now I like the sound of the rear pickup. Electric guitars are extremely analog instruments, and I still feel they have potential.
For the past three years, I've been practicing guitar with almost nothing recorded, but my skills have hardly improved. Also, I began to modify the guitar diligently, and I got a lot of inspiration.
My recent electric guitar playing method has a small number of notes, is slow, and has a variety of repetitions. It's more acoustic than musical, and songs are made using the attributes and excess of guitars and effectors rather than playing.
To me, musical instruments often feel like a strange, foreign body. The distance between me and the instrument hasn't shortened yet.
Human existence is madness. The madness is always hidden away.
I don't like music like a beautiful and quiet interior.
"Earth Shadow" is a quiet mad trip, and it's also a quiet opening of madness. I hope this music will resonate with you realistically.
This album was recorded on 4track in October 2021 using several stomp boxes, electric guitar and bass guitar.

I would like to express my great appreciation and respect to Arthur Mogilevski for giving each song "Earth Shadow" a title.

Many thanks to Anita Reynolds for kindly providing one of her works for the cover of the "Earth Shadow" album.
