Some words on this issue: V.A./ SEMI NO KISETSU – CICADAS, HERE AND THERE: “S/T” (Columbia – JX-1025) (Record: VG++ ~ Excellent, only 2 marks on side B which are inaudible, plays near Mint/ Gatefold Jacket: Near Mint/ Attached Insert: Near Mint). Original June 1970 pressing. A stellar filed recording album filled with insect song, cicada blearing and other winged creatures, all recorded in Japan in mid sixties. Listening to this marvel late at night, it comes over like the audio equivalent for one of Toho film studio's monster movies soundtracks. Filled with the sound of six-legged soloists and amphibians it all sounds like weird electronic compositions. High and screeching sounds interact with their natural environment, often escalating into full-orchestrated cacophony of different species chirping away in the late night setting. It all get counter-balanced with the barking of various insect species you didn't even knew existed, each a track of its own before they all wander off into full frontal blearing and ushering out mating calls. These sounds were eerily beautiful, yet unsettling as they vibrated the air with such ubiquity that their origin was impossible to pinpoint. The sounds these frogs and cicadas make have some similar qualities to the Morse code or “noise stations”, and like The Conet Project is both bizarre and fascinating. The cicada-like whining and chirping, displays a wide variety of drones and clicks that could be from some Taj Mahal Travelers concert, INA GRM tape music or Pierre Henry experiment with tape loops. Utterly fantastic and mind lifting.
