Passé et réalité, issued in August 2020 by Japanese producer pisica on PROGRESSIVE FOrM, assembles thirteen pieces that dwell at the intersection of shoegaze, post-rock, and experimental electronic music. The collection navigates ambient textures and IDM rhythms, with a subtle undercurrent of Japanese sensibility. Tracks such as "hazy blossoms -邏/譚-" exemplify pisica's finesse for layering delicate, shimmering synths over sparse beats, conjuring a quiet yet insistent momentum.The album’s palette ranges from the drifting expanses of "lune a l'aube d'ete" to the fractured rhythms of "qurage (re')," revealing a nuanced approach to composition that privileges mood over conventional structure. Passé et réalité stands as a modest but distinct signal within the niche catalogue of early 21st-century Japanese experimental music, offering a contemplative listen for those attuned to the subtle interplay of texture and rhythm.
