Second Born 04 review
Natsumi Hirota’s debut EP, Timelogue, is an elegy to upbringing and adolescence in Tokyo, and to the long nights spent working in jazz bars across the city.
Built upon rhythms found within spoken language and developed through improvisation, the artist interpolates moments of verbal synchronicity into musical passages, expounding on synchronous moments where speech slips into rhythm and vocal cadence becomes motif.
These long-form passages enter into a dialogue with recordings of biographical spoken word, vividly coloured found sound and traditional folk song. Family conversations during the artist’s visit home, and even the mechanical sounds of a city garbage truck in motion, all become parts of Hirota’s aural archaeology of lived experience.
Through chronicling both the direct and incidental aspects of communication, Natsumi creates a tribute to the situational spontaneity of shared presence, shaped by the unconscious patterns that underlie human interaction.
