Incidental Scenes
PLANCHA/- Cat No: ARTPL-256
- updated:2026-06-05
PLANCHA has released a Japan-exclusive CD edition of *Incidental Scenes*, a collection of tracks by Izak Jerasimo (aka Kaazi)—a member of Asa Tone alongside Tristan Arp—featuring commentary, which reimagines the music he has created for films, documentaries, and short videos. Inheriting the field recording techniques, improvisational spirit, and keen sensitivity to the local environment cultivated within Asa Tone, the album features deep, immersive synths, quiet percussion, and ambient sounds that gently overlap. Born in close collaboration with visuals, these sounds eventually rise quietly as independent ambient works imbued with a sense of memory and remembrance.

"Incidental Scenes" by New York-based artist Kaazi is a collection of tracks originally composed for films, documentaries, and short videos. Echoing his work with Asa Tone—a project he formed with Melati ESP and Tristan Arp—this album weaves together field recordings, vocals, metallophones, synthesis, and string instruments to create a soundscape characterized by ambiguous rhythms and a humid, atmospheric quality. The album includes music for visual works such as *After The Flags*, which follows the Javanese contemporary artist Arahmaiani, and *Beyond Dualism*, which features the legendary New York graffiti artist Futura 2000. The sounds, crafted to accompany scenes and characters, serve as a soundtrack yet exude an independent presence, like the mist drifting over a tropical city before dawn. Furthermore, the period of production coincided with the passing of close friends, including Ariel Kalma, who had been a key collaborator in recent years, and a sense of remembrance and reorientation quietly permeates this work.
