The label Perceptual Tapes has put out two records that complement each other well. Nekomachi’s "no wonder • なるほど" delves into themes of musical memory and the creative possibilities that arise from working within set limits. tsubai’s "ilulissat" looks outward, converting physical experiences into an abstract yet emotionally direct sonic palette. Both releases emphasize careful construction, allowing sounds to evolve beyond their original forms. The pairing was highlighted in a recent piece by Igloo Magazine, which noted the shared focus on patience and intention across the two works.
