Kwaidan / 怪談

by Meitei / 冥丁

supported by

Stéfan Németh Skele-tone lyrical anthology drawing from Japanese folklore, musique concrete, phonography and bone music. Hyperstitious, technological relay of spectral ambiance. Hauntological and ritualistic. Favorite track: Touba / 塔婆.

Dumb mmmn the nightmarish apparition of a shamed love one never quite letting go to our reletive present. the might of that emotion weighs heavily enough as to tether it's soul, never to rest again. maybe

X A I N This album for me demonstrates the aspect of horror that simulates a state of living. A type of lucidity in a fever dream induced by the conflict/matrimony of desire and despair. It's very much like the stage play scenes of Suzuki Seijun's "Kagero-za". Meitei's voice; the narrator. The listener is the purveyor to a parade of the invited horror presented. Helplessly entertained. Favorite track: Touba / 塔婆.

about

I'm expressing Japanese culture "kwaidan"/ 怪談 through the Internet by sound track under the name "Meitei / 冥丁”.Perhaps it's rare to hear the word kwaidan.
In Japan, kwaidan has been told as an element of a ghost story, but I think that kwaidan is a diverse field.
Now I started to introduce it to people all over the world as one of Japanese culture.
One of them recently I created an old Japanese kwaidan music work titled "Kwaidan / 怪談".
I tried sound make-up as if I was in an old Japanese era.

Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. 913GA
