About Brian Grainger & Shinobu Nemoto
A new collaborative record with Shinobu Nemoto (also known as Summons Of Shining Ruins) that was principally conceived and recorded from Spring to Fall 2008. I've been a longtime admirer of Shinobu's work (and his expansive studio) and this album is really something special to me because of it. Outside of my work with David Tagg in VCV, I haven't really "clicked" with another guitarist THIS well, until now. Musically it has to be one of the saddest, most achingly beautiful guitar albums I've ever heard...but it isn't just limited to guitars either; Shinobu plays piano on a track, and I played organ and bass in addition to my guitar parts. It isn't really that far off from something like "Of The Apple" as far as sad melodies and textural overload goes, and it's also close to things like the first two VCV records or "Porous Variations" in parts where the drone overtakes everything. Thanks to Shinobu's inimitable style that really shines through the fog here, making this one of my favorite releases of the year, without a doubt. Brian Grainger This record is collaboration by Brian Grainger (Milieu) and Shinobu Nemoto (Summon of Shining Ruins). My guitar sounds and "Brian Tone" fused very well. When we lived in the same town, we would surely form a band. We do anything only with the guitar. And, Cho Cho gave the chance to make us this record. (Cho Cho is a cat living with Brian, we were going to record it for our pets at first. Thank you Cho Cho!!). I talk about nothing else. Music talks all.
