A great mixture of electronic experimentalism and soul music this week, kicking off with a great Japanese talent, Yosi Korikawa, a sound designer who likes mixing up the sound of the world with some great beats.
(James Barrie - Global SoulJah and BBE Records Radio Show - UK)

Yosi Horikawa brings a fresh slice of sonic treatment to the ears
the touch ep does exactly that, with it's sophisticated sound design
and warm textures.. the soundtrack to autumn nights.
(Jay Scarlett – Ubeat Records / Samurai FM - UK,DE)
ジャンルを超えた音への愛情が感じられます。
目で聞き、耳で見る彼の感性を是非体感してみてください。
I feel his love for the sound that exceeds genre.
Please experience his sensibility that can hear by eyes, can watch by ears, by all means.
(Daisuke Tanabe - Burntprogress / Fl Oz / Dancing Turtle / ki / Circulations - JP)
That song is huge!
sampling everyday life sounds is a great idea, much respect to you.
(Onra - Favorite / All City - FR)
It sounds really great, and I'm honest, it's so cool to hear something fresher than beat music (like I do hehhe)
I mean music with real samples, with texture and noise around...
it's not just a technical love, I love the music in. Really*
(Fulgeance - Musique Large - FR)
"Touch" is the right name for that album.
really personal and deep music that takes us suddenly to a wonderland where all sounds become friends and storytellers.
magical and dreamy r the first words that come to our minds!
its also well constructed and the trakks flow from one to another like water..
"Gull" is really our favorite at the moment :)

昨年、私は”Skipping”という曲と衝撃的な出逢いを果たした。
それは日常にあふれている音の断片のはずなのに、yosiさんのフィルターを通す事で、それらが聴いた事も無い”音楽”となって立ち現れる。私が今まで耳にしてきた音楽のどこにもあてはまらず、もっと先にある新しい次元の音楽だと確信した。
懐かしさと新しさ、切なさと暖かさ。全ての感情が描き出された圧倒的で神秘的な世界観。
yosi horikawaの名前と音楽が世界を驚愕させるのも時間の問題だろう。
Last year, I got a impact encounter with the tune "Skipping".
That's supposed to be fragments of the sound flooding in daily life, when they pass through Yosi's filter, they become a "music" that has never been listened.
"Skipping" can't be applied to any music that I had listened, I was convinced that it is a more progressed music of new dimension.
Nostalgia and freshness, loneliness and warmth, all the emotions were expressed in a overwhelming and mysterious worldview.
It is a matter of time that the name and music of Yosi Horikawa will amaze the world.
(Nakamura Takahiro [Collioure] - kuh recording - JP)
YOSIの音楽には手触りがある。丁寧に録音し丹念に磨かれた音素材は、心地良くそして遊び心に満ちている。何でも無いはずの音がまるで生きているかの様にひとりでに立ち上がり、踊りだす。彼の特徴とも言えるその音の扱いと世界観は、ファインアート、建築、サウンドスケイプを咀嚼してきた彼のバックボーンを良く物語っている。
より多くの人々に、その手触りを確かめて欲しい。
YOSI's music has a "touch".
The sound materials courteously recorded and elaborately polished are comfortable, and they are full of the sense of fun.
Sounds that haven't had special meaning stand up automatically like alive, and they start dancing.
His sound treatment and worldview that can be called his characteristic tell his backbone that he has acquired fine art, architecture, soundscape. I want more people to feel this "touch".
(Saburo Ubukata – Composer / INSTALL - JP)
音から質感を感じる。はじめて聴いたときの驚きだった。
眼に見えないが確実に存在するものへの信頼感に満ち溢れている。
日常の何気ない音が彼の感性を通過することで、独特の世界観へと 我々を導いてくれる。
僕の目指す世界がここにもある。
I feel the texture in his sounds : that was the surprise when I listened to his sounds first time.
They are full of reliance to the one that exists surely, though they are invisible.
When the unconcerned sounds in day life pass through his sensibility, we are led to peculiar worldview.
The world at which I aim is here.
(yujin HIRASE - Architect / yHa - JP)
ヨシの音楽には世界と対峙する姿勢がそのまま現れている。
ノイズすら楽音に変える感性、否、ノイズゼロ地点から構築される極彩色の伽藍が今日も眩暈を引き起こす。
生半可な覚悟では獲得しえなかった唯一の耳が、あらゆる震えを取り込み、筋肉というメディウムを通して電子の生命体を生み落とす。
すなわち一生涯生産可能な一品生産の構築物。今日も生命は吹き込まれた。
The stance facing the world has appeared directly in YOSI's music.
The sensibility that can change even noise into tone : The richly colored cathedral that be constructed from zero noise point is made dizzy also today.
The only ear that couldn't be acquired in half resolution takes every wave, and bears electric life through the medium of muscle.
That is, structures of article production are possible to produce at the whole life. The soul was given into his music also today.
(Daisuke KAWAJIRI - publishing editor - JP)
自ら録り集めたこの世の様々な音の欠片たちを一つ一つの細胞に変換し そこに温かさや情熱や懐かしさを織り交ぜて 彼の感性が、ジャンルを超えた新たな自然を生み出してゆく
その音は、肌触りの好いブランケットとなってココロを包み込む
遠くにいてもいつも触れ合ってるようなやさしさと信頼が、彼の音には存在する
Various fragments of the tones in this world he'd recorded by himself were changed each cells,and he produces them to a new world with the warmth,passion and sweet memories.
His music hugs us as a comfortable blancket,and it has the kindhearted trust as we can "touch" even if we live far from each other.
(Kazu Hayashi – organizer - JP)
