"Poiesis" is a collaborative album by Sensational, a rapper from Brooklyn, NY—who has been active in various capacities as a pioneer of ambient hip-hop, including as "Torture" in Juble Brothers and on the album *Crazy Wisdom Masters* produced by Bill Laswell—and unbuilt, a composer based in Kyoto. Obscure lo-fi electronics, avant-garde beats. An intriguing development from Kyoto. Definitely worth keeping an eye on. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
