With the release of The Destroyer EP in 2011, musician/composer + visual artist Justin Hopkins, aka, RareBit quickly established himself as an artist who knows his craft. Whereas The Destroyer, a collection of Justin’s earlier work, dealt in dizzying cut & paste compositional techniques + songs with short run-times, Daizo, his full-length debut, takes us on an excursion of much greater distance. The same acute attention to sonic detail remains, however Daizo tracks take advantage of the long player format with songs stretching to upwards of 8 minutes. Also, Daizo ups the live performance quotient as well with vividly and wildly arranged instrumentation – most notably drums & percussion that carry a strong undercurrent throughout the album. The full-length is named after Justin’s grandfather & is an exploration in music as genetics. It is a dedication to his ancestors that lived during the Great Depression era, yet maintains a celebratory & reflective vibe throughout. As Justin puts it, the idea is “of families of songs that share similar traits. Certain elements are directly sampled from other places on the album or share themes even if they are manipulated or mutated to different extents.” Right off the bat, Sister songs “Running Tangles” & “Mt Weather” are obvious examples of this, entirely different tracks that are culled from the same drum tracking sessions. As with The Destroyer & most of RareBit’s work, Justin plays more of a conductor + composer role with several different musicians playing on the album & sounds being recorded on many different devices, in different places. As both a visual artist + a sonic illustrator, Justin is able to display a huge array of colors & feels in his music, all while keeping everything completely coherent. Cover art by Justin himself, album out next month on the 28th via Non Projects. "Emergence" ϟ download
