Juniper by Yumi Iwaki

Dotei Records:
「2021年のSummer Batchの3作品のうちの1つ、Yumi IwakiによるAmbient / Drone作品。昨年2020年にMuzan Editionsからリリースしたスプリットテープも最高でした。(https://doteirecords.com/product/yumi-iwaki-ryan-j-raffa-%e2%80%8e-living-distances-meds046/) 鳥肌モノのサウンドスケープに、ところどころで使用されるアルペジオで組まれたリズミカルなパートと、暮らしの中の非現実的な部分を描写したような世界観が、毎日新規感染者数を更新し続ける今日のジャポンにはまってます。」

Groove Magazin
"The work of the modular synthesizer virtuoso Yumi Iwaki from Tokyo is similarly difficult to classify. The first impression looks like a subtle drone with the most subtle surface effect and the most scrupulous production. But if you listen closely, this texture dissolves into interesting deep listening with undreamt-of in-depth details. What feels like pleasantly empty beautiful sound from a distance is still the most pleasantly beautiful sound at close range, but by no means emptied of any significance, on the contrary. Even the smallest element has a function and meaning here."
