來自西雅圖的Rafael Anton Irisarri多年來不斷探索學習不同的作曲方法、結構、聲音設計等，從前述的電子原音手法配上電子與非傳統樂器，到單純以鋼琴、電吉他與合成器創作的曲子，皆散發濃得化不開的夢幻與憂鬱氣息，當中鋼琴無疑是主要的表現樂器，卻透過恰如其分，意象豐富的電子／具象聲響，將充滿矇矓美感的聲響進一步推向極致。Irisarri顯然是大衛林區（David Lynch）的擁護者，在“Lumberton”(明顯指涉「藍絲絨」一片中表面安逸實暗藏邪惡的小鎮)一曲中，感性的鋼琴不斷被被無線電雜訊聲響干擾（是創作者故意的，不是你的音響壞了），偶然幾下吉他輕撥逐漸挑起聽者的不安，Irisarri似乎在用音樂抒發那不再單純的美國之夢。

跟許多獨立音樂人一樣，Irisarri同時身兼創作人、廠牌負責人與製作人多重角色，去年他分別在北美十八個城市作小型巡迴演出，今年則擴大到歐洲與南美洲，相信不久將來可以在亞洲看得到他的現場演出，如果你喜歡Max Richter、Deaf Center或者Yasushi Yoshida的作品，Irisarri的音樂應該值得推薦給你。

PRESS QUOTES：
"While waiting for some spectral new work to materialise from Norway's Deaf Center, you could do a lot worse than spending some time with the latest long player on founding member Erik Skodvin's Miasmah label. Subtly restrained and following the cleanest of melodic lines, this debut from Irisarri still manages to sound as though it were recorded inside a piano, rather than just in its immediate vicinity. Fortunately, the Seattle based producer has a firm enough structural hold on what he's doing not to become lost in so vast an acoustic space. The results make for an excellent companion to Greg Haines's Slumber Tides, released on Miasmah last year."

"...glide into your subconscious and refuse to relent - casting out pink-hued soundscapes and filigree melodies that allow the piano to shimmer and evolve." - BOOMKAT.COM

"Bello come sognare a occhi aperti, melodie pianistiche liquefatte in dissolvenze digital-ambient, torpori acustici avvolti in nebbia d'elettricità statica, musiche fuori fuoco che prendono vita come un lungo piano sequenza cinematografico." - BLOW UP

"Daydreaming is a haunting collection of stunning dreamscapes which not only allows for the mind to wander, but actively stimulates mental illusions and emotional attachment. Here, Irisarri assembles an incredibly consistent series of particularly elaborate and evocative ambient pieces which are likely to captivate for years to come." - LONDONMILK

"A carefully constructed soundtrack to your most intriguing dreams, the dreams you might remember for a split second before losing everything, only to have images creep up on you some time later...and as the emotive piano shimmers around radio static and lightly picked guitar it is impossible not to get drawn into the shattered American dream." - DOTSHOP

"...you'd be hard pushed not to like this absolute gem. Cherish it, as music like this is something to be savoured." - SMALLFISH
