On Tobira, Illuha expands from a duo into a trio with percussionist Tatsuhisa Yamamoto, whose deep sense of groove and distinctive drumming transforms their electro-acoustic landscapes. Recorded over two focused sessions with a few overdubs, the album explores rhythmic structures, a new direction that feels both daring and unexpected in ambient music.
The music moves through hazy, noir-tinged textures of pulsing drums, distorted guitar, and bass, then settles back into delicate, angled atmospheres. Yamamoto’s subtle yet present touch enhances Illuha’s meticulous production, creating a striking balance between intention and improvisation.
Tobira—“door” or “opening” in Japanese—invites listeners to step through multiple sonic thresholds, each offering a unique terrain to navigate and explore.
