Rinbo: Review by Borealiscape at Recent Music Heroes

/Abstract, Film noir, Soundtrack, Avant-garde, Electro-acoustic, Chamber music, Experimentalism/ Makunouchi Bento is a Romanian duo who used to exploit film noir-esque seeds to fuse them into austere, barely discernible chamber music and electro-acoustic soundscapes. Inspite of these "suspicious" presuppositions the listener can perceive some weird kind of easiness at it. Although the album generally is very good on its own, the highly epic Jubokko jumps out as the outstanding track on it. By the...

Rinbo: Review by Oír para creer

Makunouchi Bento es un proyecto que desde siempre me ha fascinado. Música electrónica experimental de grandísima calidad, tanto en sonido como en composición. Este nuevo trabajo para Camomille, no es una excepción y con tan solo cuatro temas consigue crear un clima (y un climax) sobrecojedor. No os podeis perder tampoco el disco de remixes que los propios Makunouchi Bento han publicado en su Bandcamp. Señores, aviso que esto va directo a lo mejor del...

Rinbo: Review by Miilofon at LiveJournal

вышедший в конце прошлого года на Camomille Music альбом независимого румынского музыканта Makunouchi Bento (Makunouchi Bento означает традиционную деревянную японскую коробку для завтраков, куда обычно кладут суши и прочее, что они там едят)...

Rinbo: Review by Lucian Mircu at Marele Ecran

Ii admir pe Makunouchi Bento de la primele ediţii TmBase. Muzica duo-ului electronic timişorean s-a lipit de mine ca “marca de scrisoare”. Nu te gîdilă doar audio, cît vizual. Makunouchi Bento fac filme din sunete. E ca şi cum urechile ascultatorului ar căpăta ochi. Cînd începe muzica, undeva în creierul meu porneşte un proiector care rulează imagini, locuri, poveşti şi, da, filme. Nu e o întîmplare că noul EP al grupului, Rinbo, a fost compus...

Rinbo: Review by Christoph Berg at Electroacoustic Tales

Makunouchi Bento’s latest release on Camomille Music is a very special one indeed. It combines a traditional sound played by a marching band – like on ‘Jubokko’ – with sound processing and the result is somewhat surreal but fetching at the same time. Whether it’s the modern composition (‘Bake-Kujira’) or the more fragile work based on field recordings (‘Yuki-onna’), the EP contains elements of nearly every experimental genre. If it could be compared with...

Rinbo: Review by Easterndaze

The Timisoara duo Makunouchi Bento are avid purveyors of complex sonic structures, opulent compositions brimming that in their epicism and cinematic nature, are soundtracks to non-existing films. Their latest movie, entitled Rinbo, they pursue mystical oriental territories, a sonic fairy tale in a magical country. Even the track titles sound as if they were taken from a children’s book: Jubokko, Bake-Kujira, etc....

Rinbo: Review by Richard Allen at A Closer Listen

This unassuming little release is one of the most original recordings of the year, a follow-up to 2010′s highly eclectic Swimé. Rinbo is no less eclectic, but is far more accessible, and has a great starting point: the stories of four Japanese monsters. Slow down, fanboy, this isn’t about Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and Ghidrah, although that would have been fine as well. This quartet is comprised of Yuki-onna, Ame-Onna, Bake-Kujira and Jubokko:...

Rinbo: Review by Keinzweiter at Keinzweiter’s World of Music

Wow! Die beiden rumänischen Künstler Makunouchi Bento setzen nach dem außerordentlich guten Swime Album mit ihrer neuen EP “Rinbo” noch eins drauf. Klanglandschaften und Fieldrecordings, die nebulös zwischen Neuer Musik, Musique concrète, experimentellem Ambient oder sogar Jazz umher tänzeln und sich in ihrer abstrakten Tiefe immer wieder in harmonischen Figuren aufheben. Sicher keine Musik für die Biergartenbeschallung, dafür aber ein Werk, das sich so schnell nicht tothört. Masterpiece!...

Rinbo: Review by Temporary Identity at Renoise Forums

Listening to the first song on mid-quality speakers as I type. By the 4 minute mark, is clear that you've got a very thick, very hypnotizing soundscape going. The samples of wind, foley, and warped sines really do give the tune something ethereal to it, as do the plucked samples of...

Rinbo: Review by Parmon at Phonocake

Eine neue EP von Makunouchi Bento. Sehr winterlich und verträumt daherkommend, märchenhaft, comicartig, Parallelwelt granulair, Zwobot-Symphonie in Akkordarbeit triefender Ruderer in einem See der Phantasie....
