about

　Mood music, exotica, lounge music, easy listening, furniture music ... Before Brian Eno advocated "ambient" in the mid-1970s, UtyRidats was formed in search of music that would take you to a different world just by listening.
　The quartet consists of Suimin Dragon, Pho U, GorillaWave!, and Forever Lucky. They express the fantastic worldview using instruments such as fretless bass, flute, clarinet, Casiotone, steelpan, tabla machine, and many other percussion instruments. The 1st EP "Body & Soul" contains 5 songs including their 1st song "Etica", "A Spirit of Tiger" with impressive synthesizer and flute unison, and session-based "U.T.Y1". Surprisingly, the songs are recorded with a single microphone.

　ムード音楽、エキゾチカ、ラウンジ、イージーリスニング、家具の音楽…1970年代半ばブライアン・イーノが「アンビエント」を提唱する以前、聞くだけで異なる世界へ連れていってくれるような音楽を求めて、UTyRidatsは結成された。Suimin Dragon、Pho U、GorillaWave!、Forever Luckyによる不定形のカルテットは、フレットレス・ベースやフルートやクラリネットから、カシオトーンやスティールパンやタブラマシン、さらに多数の打楽器を曲ごとに持ち替え、幻想的な世界を音で表現している。
　1st EPである『Body & Soul』は、UTyRidatsが最初に完成させた楽曲「Etica」、シンセとフルートによるメロディのユニゾンが印象的な「A Spirit Of Tiger」、セッションを元に作られた「U.T.Y 1」など全5曲。録音はマイク一本の一発録りで行いForever Luckyがミックス、またジャケットはPho Uによるデザインとなっている。
