Drifting from DRIFTING by Daisuke Suzuki & Andrew Chalk
‘Drifting’ is the very first collaboration between Andrew Chalk and Daisuke Suzuki, which has
remained unsurfaced since then-their private recording in 1996. In early 1996 Daisuke sent Andrew
a DAT tape which included some unedited pieces that he recorded with found objects in his garden.
Those fragments of recordings inspired Andrew to make a spontaneous recording and he made a
live mix directly to cassette recorder with his instinct and archaic vision. ‘Drifting’ is a kind of
archaic low-fi recording, but it has great atmosphere and perfect unison in texture.
‘Drifting’ was also a prelude to their long-term collaborations and the beginning of the change of
direction in Andrew’s approach to music.
