In principle, the two halves, called ‘Ruten –‘ and ‘Ruten +’ are meant to represent the principle of Ying \u0026amp; Yang, the two elemental forces and the eternal cycle of energy. As a whole, they signify a journey from the nascent being to the eventual dissolution of everything into nothing. Yet there’s still a deeper message at play: the omnipresence of patterns. Even the incessant flow of changes is patterned. The philosophers ask what it tells us about reality. The artists offer answers, each coded in the respective artistic language.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe second volume offers a different take on such explorations, moving towards more nebulous and fuzzier modes of musical imagination. It is here where Fukuda’s music begins to evince ineffable qualities, going beyond words that could definitively grasp its content. As such it seems to be asking: are patterns really there, or are we projecting them onto the world? This change of the composition style signifies a change of intellectual perspective, the second complementing the first. Drone-like sounds of the opening tracks appear alien initially, but on closer inspection they are reminiscent of this-worldly ambient sounds – just amplified many times over, stretched to a border of recognition, and rearranged for a thought-provoking auditory experience. They are impressionist vignettes where chromatic properties count for much more than any beat or harmonic structure. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* Tracklist: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1: 白光 Hakkou\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2: 慈光 Jikou\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3: 光源 Kougen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1: 回向 Ekou\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2: 根源 Kongen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3: 混沌 Konton\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eC1: 法眼 Hougen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eC2: 霊験 Reigen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eC3: 幽玄 Yugen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD1: 蕭寥 Shouryou\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD2: 陽炎 Youen\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD3: 流転 Ruten\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e* Tracklist: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1: 白光 Hakkou (TRACK LENGTH 05:02 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2: 慈光 Jikou (TRACK LENGTH 04:13 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3: 光源 Kougen (TRACK LENGTH 04:35 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1: 回向 Ekou (TRACK LENGTH 04:48 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2: 根源 Kongen (TRACK LENGTH 02:19 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3: 混沌 Konton (TRACK LENGTH 09:40 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eC1: 法眼 Hougen (TRACK LENGTH 02:39 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eC2: 霊験 Reigen (TRACK LENGTH 09:29 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eC3: 幽玄 Yugen (TRACK LENGTH 02:13 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD1: 蕭寥 Shouryou (TRACK LENGTH 04:10 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD2: 陽炎 Youen (TRACK LENGTH 09:03 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD3: 流転 Ruten (TRACK LENGTH 02:01 min)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"REITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37576366063772,"sku":"RTN013","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/RTN013.jpg?v=1611382627","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/kosei-fukuda-%e6%b5%81%e8%bb%a2-%e9%99%bd-ruten","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
