Chinabot:

"A glitching, heavy darkness pervades FLIR, the new album from Tokyo-based artist At Her Open Door, to be released on Chinabot. Combining uniquely diverse elements – dubstep, traditional Chinese instrumentation, and progressive rock, among others – FLIR is a whirlwind journey through fruitful experimentation, creating a world of jagged sonic edges and frenetic beats along the way.

Taiki Kobayashi of At Her Open Door started out in progressive rock and hardcore bands, and now describes his work as “a fusion of Asian traditional instruments and 80s synths for a modern approach.” With FLIR, wobble bass and jungle add new textures to his precise, melodic compositions, which also make use of the characteristic bell sounds of the Peking Opera.

Tracks like CINA display this approach, blending up a melody that could have come from an 80's sci fi soundtrack with Chinese instrumentation and wobble bass, for an aggressive, thumping blitz on the senses.

“FLIR is an acronym for “forward-looking infrared” and is intended to mean the result of detecting something hot,” says Kobayashi, referring to his exploratory musical process. sound that I want to hear now.”

Lately, he has also been inspired by electronic music from Depeche Mode and Yellow Magic Orchestra. “What I valued in creating FLIR was the fusion of the esoteric and aggressive atmosphere of that music with the 80s romanticism that I have explored in the past,” he says."
