In their latest collaborative effort, ‘Hyatt Earp’, Tokyo-born composer and producer aus (Yasuhiko Fukuzono) and guitarist Ryosuke Nagaoka have crafted a mesmerising track that seamlessly blends their unique musical sensibilities.
Despite being their first collaboration, the pair’s decade-long friendship shines through in the effortless cohesion of their sound, with Nagaoka’s guitar work perfectly complementing aus’ expertly crafted beatscapes.
‘Hyatt Earp‘ is a standout track from the duo’s mixtape-like album, Layland, which fearlessly explores various genres while maintaining a sense of unity and purpose. The song showcases aus’ talent for creating richly textured percussion, with breakbeat-style rhythms laying the foundation for Nagaoka’s talent.
Throughout, aus and Nagaoka demonstrate their willingness to experiment and push the boundaries of their respective genres, drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, including classical, spiritual jazz, indie, avant-garde, and folk music. The result is a captivating and innovative.
