about

Shiro Fujioka - Negroshima
CAT# DU-ESSTRO2

Negroshima is an explosion of sonic creativity from the mind of Shiro Fujioka aka Voltagectrlr

The origin of the album title came from a funny conversation between a friend and I.

We were reflecting on an argument that transpired earlier that day. My friend asked me how upset I was on a scale from 1-10... I replied to her with a sarcastic smile and said, Negroshima!

We both laughed and she said that should be the name for one of my albums, I laughed even harder and agreed it was an excellent idea because of my African / Japanese roots.

For those that don’t know Hiroshima is a city on Japan’s Honshu island that The United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on during WWII, and on the African side of the spectrum I’m a descendant of slavery, and in a similar fashion my culture, language, and spiritual practices were bombed out of our memory as African Americans.

This combination contributes to a very explosive mix of creative energy.

This sonic offering shifts through different auditory dimensions, from Techno/IDM to Modbap and Glitch. The compositions on this album are recorded live in one take with an analog modular synthesizer, Elektron: Machinedrum, Digitone, Octatrack and Digitakt

Este tipo esta muy cabron. Por fin mi DAC+AMP & planar magnetics intensifican una experiencia a un nivel bellisimo. Este track, despues que estas en el piso de la ricura, al final te cae a almohadasos poliritmicos de alto cache. Muy por encima el album. 100/10 albynalbynalbyn
