July 28, 2023
The heart of this musical voyage lies in Barrott's album 'Jōhatsu (蒸発)', a poignant and evocative score Mark Barrott was commissioned to write for the captivating documentary, 'Jōhatsu (蒸発) ... the art of Evaporation'. With two new remixes seamlessly woven into the tracklist, these take the listeners on a wider exploration of Japanese culture from a unique perspective. Each remix offers a fresh lens through which to view this rich and diverse tapestry of tradition and modernity.
Lycoriscoris's interpretation of 'Kyoto' maintains the essence of the original but takes it to new electronic heights, infusing it with weightier synths and a distinct signature blend of sound design. Mark Barrott on the Lycoriscoris Remix: "My all time desert island artist is Steve Reich so to hear Lycoriscoris take on Kyoto & follow in his polyrhythmic footsteps with added dub and drama is hypnotic aural ecstasy for me"
In her atmospheric ambient rework of 'Kamikakushi', Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith strips down the original track, adding new layers of synths to create an ethereal and haunting sonic experience. Mark Barrott on the Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith Remix: "I’ve been a long time admirer of KAS’s lush modular painting & her remix of Kamikakushi washes over you like a lavender pillow at bedtime - both adventurous and familiar, kissing the horizon line between possibility and delight."
Since its initial release earlier this year, 'Jōhatsu (蒸発)' has been met with resounding acclaim, earning accolades from industry heavyweights like Pitchfork, MOJO, and BBC 6 Music. With its enchanting melodies and evocative storytelling, the album has garnered over 2.8 million streams to date, captivating audiences around the world.
