JOURNAL
FOR PEOPLE (CD+DVD)
Takagi Masakatsu
2006. April
released from Carpark
Records
Originally released from
daisyworld discs in
2002
Takagi Masakatsu is one man trying to make
sense of the world. He travels the globe recording people's everyday
lives, and then
returns home to Japan where
he delicately molds the everyday into the sublime. A classically-trained pianist,
a multimedia documentarian, an art-gallery exhibiting jet-setter, Takagi Masakatsu
is clearly a renaissance man of our times. After releasing two cds and a dvd
with Carpark in 2001 and 2002, Takagi returns to us once again with his "Journal
For People" DVD and CD. Lilting piano lines, digitally-enhanced melodies,
and sturdily constructed ambient pop tunes comprise the audio. The video features
people from all over the world intersecting with Takagi?fs painterly palette
of organic and psychedelic imagery. It's what art at its best is capable of:
a sensually gratifying and spiritually healing experience. |
