Intricate percolating electronica built on asymmetric beats: ethereal female vocal and sounds of electricity weave in and out of the pointillistic fabric.

SKIST : ELLIPSIS
By David Elliott
Tokyo-based duo Skist are Samm Bennett and Haruna Ito. An early practitioner of electronic percussion, Bennett came up through New York's post-No Wave and Improv scenes, where he drummed with the likes of John Zorn, Elliott Sharp, Marc Ribot and others. Moving to Japan in 1996, he hooked up with sampler processor and vocalist Ito as GoNoGoNoGo. Since they wisely changed their name to Skist, they've gigged in Tokyo and elsewhere, left recorded traces on Mille Plateaux's Clicks + Cuts, FatCat's No Watches/No Maps and Improvised Music From Japan compilations, and released two very limited edition CDs, Ready Question and Jook Parachute. Ellipsis is their debut album proper.
Bennett and Ito may both be from Improv, but Ellipsis is a tightly structured, quasi-accessible collection of nine songs with a skewed, even skewered pop bent.
