Was so excited for this one based on the other tape Hasegawa did in 2017 with Dao de Noize, and I was not disappointed. Hasegawa blends dark, despairing field recordings with his signature lush walls of harsh noise, almost reminding me of C.C.C.C.'s Gnosis. Marquardt's half was great as well!
Favorite track: Hiroshi Hasegawa - Isolated Reality.
ASTRO is Hiroshi Hasegawa's solo project.
He was in the band named C.C.C.C. which was one of the biggest Japanese noise group.
Born in 1963, Hasegawa has begun his improvisation with his voice and drums. And in 1989, he made the group C.C.C.C. which's concept was impovisative mass-noise with very loud sound. The group became legend with the members Mayuko Hino, Ryuichi Nagakubo, Fumio Kosakai.
Also he has begun his solo unit ASTRO with analog synthesizers in 1993 as well as playing in C.C.C.C. and then he formed COSMIC COINCIDENCE as new C.C.C.C. in 2010 with the members Manuel Knapp and Rohco.
Now he is actively playing and issuing and doing many collaboration with other artists. And there are released works beyond 50 titles.
His playing style is like drifting between the meditation and awakening state with electronics and still he is pursuing it.
