Ena Eno's latest album, Taiyō no Hakaba, is a stunning and evocative work of art that showcases the artist's incredible range and depth of talent. From start to finish, the album is a masterful exploration of sound and emotion, taking listeners on a journey through lush soundscapes and haunting melodies that linger long after the music has ended.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Shiroi Kumo," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases Eno's unique ability to blend traditional Japanese instrumentation with modern electronic beats and textures. The result is a truly mesmerizing sound that is both otherworldly and deeply emotional.

“Là où le soleil s’enterre, là où il plonge jusqu’à disparaître, c’est là d’où je viens, et c’est là où je retournerai.”
Taiyo no Hakaba, c’est l histoire d’un gaijin qui depuis l’enfance rêve du Levant et qui, devenu adulte, va confronter son fantasme à sa réalité du Japon et traduire la rencontre en impressions sonores et musicales.
Compositeur et beatmaker pour Dooz Kawa notamment, Ena Eno présente son premier LP solo après de nombreuses aventures en équipe (BEATume, Dooz Kawa, Na+ + Cl-,...) ; il y raconte ses tribulations au pays du soleil levant à travers des enregistrements à la volée dans les rues, des samples pris de vinyls diggués dans les échoppes de Tokyo ou de Kyoto, le tout entre abstract hip-hop, trip hop, half time et electronica.
Taiyō no Hakaba is a truly remarkable album that showcases Ena Eno's incredible talent as a musician and composer. With its lush soundscapes, haunting melodies, and evocative lyrics, it is sure to captivate listeners and leave them wanting more. Highly recommended for fans of ambient, electronic, and experimental music.
