The sound artist based in New York, Taylor Deupree, reconstructed the seventh release from the Noble label back in 2003, the album titled "Awaawa" by the group Eisi. First released in 2003, melodies spinning softly upwards into the gentle air, the ethereal voice of Mujika Easel melting into serenity, Eisi's "Awaawa" brought forth a storm of quiet excitement among listeners.
New York-based musician Taylor Deupree liked "Awaawa" and requested to work on the reconstruction project. Deupree owns three labels of his own: 12k, LINE and Happy, and he has also released albums from major world labels such as Mille Plateaux, Raster-Noton, and Sub Rosa. Eisi sent Deupree individual tracks of the songs on the original album, live recordings, and unreleased versions. Deupree preserved the organic quality of the original tracks as he applied his own style of delicate digital processing, weaving the layers and fragments into the sonic tapestry that is this album. San Francisco musician Christopher Willits added his characteristic warm guitar-work to the album. Willits also collaborated with Deupree on a release last year.
In his recent work Deupree has revealed glimpses of his more melodic style of music. This fresh and unique electro-acoustic masterpiece is one place where Derupree has arrived in a musical journey toward acoustic sounds.
