To quote the good book, “When one door closes, another door opens.” For 16 years, I’ve been studying this line for my post-grad dissertation on quotes, and at the base level, it means opportunities become available after completion of a current project. An appropriate example is Okayama producer Keita Sano’s new album, Holding New Cards. Sano experimented with jazz, studied ceramic-spinning, and has released a number of singles and EPs on various labels, all of them leading to the inevitable prospect of this newest full-length.
Oh, the journeys of our lives. It is important to take into consideration that when you open one door, you also bring a breeze into a room that subsequently opens a new door, and so on and so forth. Is that breeze fate or happenstance? Sano, on the other hand, has some solid work behind him, and this new album uses the MPC, MTR, and Electribe-SX to create a throwback of club grooves. But perhaps there was never any doors at all, and Sano just made a great choice to put out this album with his own freewill. We’ll never truly know, but what I do know is I’ll be graduating now thanks to this great essay I just wrote about quotes. Great job, me!
