The Wire  May 2007
Having produced music for Sony, Mercedes-Benz and Heinz, Chicago based sound designer
Kiku Hibino has recently worked on the Stop-Rokkasho campaign, curated by Ryuichi Sakamoto,
to raise public awareness of nuclear reprocessing plants. This, his first collection, concerns itself with
themes of capturing and preserving fleeting moments: opener "Daidai" shakes and trembles like
a half-remembered Japanese folk tune. Elsewhere the composer uses the noises made by skipping CDs
as his source material, building them up into randomly shimmering tunes that rapidly come and go,
often disappearing beneath processed recordings of busy streets and crowded playgrounds,
as if he were trying to cram in as many memories as possible before it all disappears.
