C'est au milieu des annes 80 qu'il se sensibilise  la musique, tout d'abord par le biais du Hip-Hop dont il finit par apprhender les subtilits au point d'tre considr comme un turntablist hors pair. Assimilant goulment les expriences musicales, on le verra ensuite voluer dans des registres Acid Jazz ou Downtempo. Certaines de ses productions sortiront alors sur Mo'Wax ou Bungalow. Le nippon travaille galement  cette poque avec l'entit Audio Sports, o il arpente un versant plus exprimental de sa musique. C'est cet aspect de son travail qu'il retiendra  la fin des annes 90, au sein d'une oeuvre o la manipulation informatique, les exprimentations et la rptitivit ont finit par prendre le dessus sur les sons &quot;dansants&quot;. On note d'ailleurs en 99 sa participation  un tribute  Steve Reich. <!--IMPERIAXNEWLINE--><p> <!--IMPERIAXNEWLINE-->Au terme d'une mue improbable, celui que l'on connat galement sous le pseudonyme de Child's View et qui part dsormais en tourne avec Jim O'Rourke, rejoint l'curie Thrill Jockey o il donne maintenant libre cours  une Electronica exprimentale et heurte, mais non dnue d'une certaine porte ludique et enchanteresse. Le morceau ponyme en est la preuve, Takemura sait comme personne confronter la froideur des machines avec la douceur de petits motifs mlodiques dlicieusement dviants et grouillants. Parenthse au sein de ce mini-album, le grand ordonnateur touche galement au Post-Rock au fil des 35 minutes de <i>Souvenir in Chicago</i>. Le japonais y fricote avec les forces vives de son nouveau label, soit Doug McCombs, Bundy Brown et John McEntire, pour une plonge en apne au coeur d'une bizarrerie magnifiquement extatique. Entre rformateurs, on s'est visiblement parfaitement compris. Notons qu'il n'est pas dsagrable, loin s'en faut, de retrouver la nbuleuse Tortoise voluer ici dans des climats dilats proches de ceux de ses dbuts.  <!--IMPERIAXNEWLINE--><p> <!--IMPERIAXNEWLINE-->Pour le reste, en cousin plus ou moins loign de Mouse on Mars ou Oval, Takemura se positionne sur le front de la musique exigeante, en vitant de verser dans &quot;l'exprimentation pour l'exprimentation&quot;. Hrisses de cuts, de clicks & pops, de cd skips et de beats dconstruits, ces symphonies digitales, do une certaine ide du groove n'est nanmoins jamais absente (voir le titre <i>Cogwheel</i>), pourraient en effet ressembler  des berceuses o la navet assume affleure rgulirement. Question de point de vue. Ces notes vicieuses ne seront pas non plus  mettre entre toutes les oreilles. Mais si le priple propos par le japonais est jalonn d'embches et de piges auditifs, ceux qui pousseront un peu loin l'expdition en sa compagnie seront rcompenss par la dcouverte d'un monde  la porte onirique certaine. Une impression confirme par la vido d'animation de Katsura Moshino, qui illustre parfaitement le morceau <i>Sign</i> sur le deuxime CD. <!--insert_ende:article--> <img src="/img/punkt.gif" width=7 height=7 border=0 alt=""><p> <!--IMPERIAOPTION-FIELDSECRETrespublicagenre:Electronique--> <!--insertion:SECRETarticlexml--><!----> <!--insert_ende:SECRETarticlexml--> <!--insertion:SECRETauteur--><!--Fabrice Courdan--> <!--insert_ende:SECRETauteur--> &nbsp;&nbsp; <!--insertion:SECRETemail--><!--fabrice@99octane.com--> <!--insert_ende:SECRETemail--> <i> <a href="mailto:fabrice@99octane.com">Fabrice Courdan</a> </i> <br> <!--IMPERIAOPTION-FIELDsource:own--> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- end table text --> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- End Chroniques --> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <p> <center> <hr size="2" width="100%" color="#003366" noshade> <font size="2" face="Tahoma,Verdana,Arial" color="#003366"> | <a href="/breves/index.html" Target="_self" class=wortdivers>br&egrave;ves</a> |  <a href="/zoom/index.html" Target="_self" class=wortdivers>zoom</a> |<a href="/agenda/index.html" Target="_self" class=wortdivers>agenda</a> | <a href="/chroniques/index.html" Target="_self" class=wortdivers>chroniques</a> | <a href="/agora/index.html" Target="_self" class=wortdivers>agora</a> | <a href="/index2.html" Target="_self" class=wortdivers>home</a> | <a href="/ours/index.html" Target="_self" class=wortdivers> propos</a> | <a href="/info/index.html" Target="_self" class=wortdivers>contacts</a> | <hr size="2" width="100%" color="#003366" noshade> <font size="2" face="Tahoma,Verdana,Arial" color="#003366"><p class="wortdivers"> &copy; 	<a href="http://www.seitenbau.com" class="wortdivers">SEITENBAU</a> 1999-2001.<br> Tous droits rservs. Reproduction interdite sans autorisation des auteurs. </center> </td> </tr> </table>  <!--essentials-->  </BODY> </HTML>
