Hypnotic IDM (Intelligent Dance Music). Sauvage EP underscores Satoru Wono’s talent as a composer. Pure vinyl sounds serve as the unique source: needle impacts, rotary engine drones, chance scratching noises and dust storms. These analogue and mechanical sounds were carefully sampled, edited and astutely (re)composed by Satoru Wono. Minimal techno vs. experimental sound architecture: microscopic and compelling rhythmical cells drawn and joyfully aggregated into an ascending scale (Lento, Moderato, Presto, Prestissimo). Sonore is proud to release this unearthed Sauvage EP. Originally composed and released on CD in 1998 by Kaeru Cafe, the original works were brilliantly re-mastered and cut by Lupo at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin in 2006. Sonore celebrates this analogic ode by re-engraving it in vinyl, coming full circle. The immediate and manifest force of this recording presents an immanent critique of the idea of perishable music. For art and electronic music lovers, vinyl fetishists and active deejays. -SONORE

Satoru Wono loves ironic disjunctures, so for this new album, "Sonata for Sine Wave and White Noise", he decided to exploit the misunderstanding regarding the Onkyo School, a new musical current that banishes all structures. Wono uses its specific elements (scratching, glitches, sinewaves, distortion) and inserts them in a traditional musical scheme (sonata ? pop ?) - an experiment that only such an inventive composer like Satoru Wono could undertake. -SONORE

Wono uses the specific, minimalist elements of sine wave and white noise, then manipulates them into a traditional musical form, the sonata. -THE WIRE issue#236

STRING QUARTET
2002. Japan / STEINHAND / SH0002

1. 48. string quartet (total 48 movements)

A man with many different faces, Satoru Wono is known in the music world as a club DJ, a pop music producer, as "accountant Wono-san" when working as Meiwa Denki's musical director, or as the author of "Wono Satoru no amai sakkyoku koza" and other publications. This is an original string quartet composed by Wono, who is equipped with extensive musical knowledge and education. The work is based on original studio recordings of string performances, enriched with elements of repetition, quotation,... but this is not how you can grasp this album of 48 short pieces. Listen to this CD and discover its experimental and avant-garde soul, but also discover how it has a physically refreshing effect on you. The short pieces are somewhat danceable - at least inside the head... -Real Tokyo (http://www.realtokyo.co.jp/japanese/).
