KWARP - The Way I Am and The Way You Yawn

Mirae Arts proudly presents The Way I Am and The Way You Yawn, the debut album from Katsunori Sawa under his KWARP alias. This six-track release explores the
fleegng nature of youth and the weariness of aging, blending Sawa’s experimental
roots with fresh, modular synthesizer-driven soundscapes.From the forward-driving
hi-hats and alien voices of "Frog FM" to the mechanical aggression of "Ultra," the
album offers an imaginagve auditory journey. Highlights include the playful chaos of
"PlayStagon" and the metallic rhythms of "Metal Gear."
About Katsunori Sawa: First emerging on the scene in 2008 as EOC with his debut on
the UK-based Ai Records, Sawa has steadily built a reputagon for innovagon and
collaboragon within the underground music community. He co-founded the
influengal 10 Label and has paired his talents with an array of respected argsts,
including Yuji Kondo (as Steven Porter), Martsman (under the moniker Bokeh), and DJ
Nobu (Nobusawa). These alliances have birthed releases on presggious labels like
Kynant Records, SNTS, and Token.
Creagng his sound in a hidden studio set within a striking Tadao Ando-designed
building, Sawa cravs a sonic landscape that fuses rhythmic noise with pulsagng
bodom-end rave abstracgons. His work reached new heights with an album on Opal
Tapes, making him the label’s first Japanese argst and firmly establishing his place in
the global music conversagon. His tracks have even been woven into the sets of
electronic stalwarts such as Aphex Twin.
