<h1>Cheekbone</h1>
<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Antonymes_1.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-8714 size-medium" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Cheekbone_3-300x300.jpg" alt="Cheekbone" width="300" height="300" /></a><em>"...expertly sequenced; short soundscapes drift and merge into one another, while intricate beats, deft samples, and obscured field recordings are woven into the mix… <em>Yesterday</em> acts as a poignant snapshot of nostalgic (and often forgotten) memories amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. ”</em> –<strong> Sonic Frontiers </strong>

A drifting, organic space in which to lose yourself completely, Cheekbone’s masterful ambient electronica is guaranteed to appeal to anyone with an interest in the possibilities of synthesized sound.

Luscious, disorientating and utterly enchanting, Cheekbone's debut EP<em> Yesterday</em> is essential listening.

<div></div>
<em>We Don’t Look Back For Very Long </em>sees Antonymes reworking a track from each of fellow Hidden Shoal artist Slow Dancing Society’s four albums, casting radiant new light on the stunning originals. Across almost 30 minutes, Antonymes marries SDS’s glistening atmospheres to his own trademark ambient neo-classical minimalism, creating a completely mesmerising hybrid.

<h3>Biography</h3>
Inspired by psychedelic German rock, Kouichi Moriuchi began making music in the mid-’90s using guitar, organ, theremin and tapes. From these initial explorations, the luscious three-dimensional soundworld of Cheekbone began to take shape. In 2002, Kouichi began using a laptop, stirring in a whole host of sounds and influences, ranging from early favourites such as Neu, Cluster and Tangerine Dream, to noisemakers Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, and ambient pioneer Brian Eno.

Cheekbone’s agile, amorphous brand of ambient electronica is constantly transforming, evoking the growth of nature and the decay of light across space, agitated by human activity and the background chatter and clang of everyday life. But rather than being inspired by real world events, this music expresses an aching sense of nostalgic melancholy, pining for something that only exists as memory and imagination.

Kuoichi’s experimentation with melody and texture to create luminous new soundscapes evokes seminal British electronic acts such as Aphex Twin, Plaid and Boards of Canada whilst carving his own unique space. He has recently remixed a track by Italian band Port-Royal, and improvises live with laptop and synthesizer in his hometown of Nara, Japan.
