bokeh: lenses dances

Katsunori Sawa & Anthone (aka Martsman) are Bokeh, the dynamic duo behind some of the most notable releases on Berlin's Weevil Neighbourhood. Bokeh blends together the distinctive styles of Katsunori Sawa and Anthone, who have releases on labels such as Opal Tapes, SNTS, Hidden Hawaii, and many more under their belts. In 2020, Bokeh has already released a 12" EP for UVB-76 and Mirae Arts announces the follow-up debut LP release called Lenses Dances. Lenses Dances comprises eight tracks that reflect on the photograph effect called bokeh, where aperture settings of the respective camera lens create vivid patterns, almost like dancing dots. It is a dedication to the artists' love for photography. The music is complemented by Paul Nicholson's signature graphic designs. Artwork design by Paul Nicholson, UK graphic designer who created the famous Aphex Twin logo and The Laughing Man logo for the cult-classic anime, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Paul has since designed logos and artworks for numerous artists and organizations. Mastering and lacquer completed by Kassian Troyer at the legendary Dubplates & Mastering. Mirae Arts is an independent vinyl label based in northern California with focus on experimental ambient and techno music. Inspired by travel and natural landscapes, Mirae Arts boasts a diverse catalogue of projects from artists such as Seraphim Rytm, Michiru Aoyama, and Katsunori Sawa.
