Invisible by Lars Graugaard & Keisuke Matsuno

The music of Lars Graugaard and Keisuke Matsuno is an unusual meeting of unalike backgrounds that delightedly converge into a rich and coherent musical vision. Keisuke's electrifying sonic textures and effortless soaring lines are juxtaposed by Lars' intense and intricate rhythms and timbral contrasts that assimilate, expand and endlessly develop, adapt, alter, modify and transform. The guitar is buried deep in the electronic mesh of realtime alterations and processing yet always standing free in an open place, right in the middle of the ongoings.
At times with the hardest punch and at others with the gentlest touch, the music is in a constant state of search-and-encounter, of pursuing all possibilities and leaving no stone untouched. The contrast between the tracks evidence the large palette of these musical soul-mates and a track always establish, develop and consume the musical propositions to its fullest. Nurtured by techno, industrial, rave avant-garde and various jazz forms in a display of sophisticated production skills that is integrated into the performance strategy, this release is firmly situated in a warm and very forward place where musics concur and any music may emerge.
