Swallow by Masaya Kato & Valotihkuu
This is the first collaborative album by Japanese composer Masaya Kato and Russian composer Denis Davydov (Valotihkuu). Denis made soundscapes with nature sounds and a variety of acoustic and electroacoustic instruments, tape loops. After that Masaya composed and played Fender Rhodes and added little bits of vinyl and tape noises.
The track titles are named after ingredients of dyestuffs, pigments for blue colors.
We hope you enjoy this magical collaboration!

Valotihkuu is the sound of light seeping through the foliage, captured on magnetic tape. A fragile collage of field recordings, wobbly synths, and timid melodies drawing inspiration from childhood memories and fleeting moments in nature
