“Leftovers (Reworked)” is a consequence of “Scytale”, the Shinkei + Mise_En_Scene release on the Japanese label mAtter. During its preparation, some of the tracks were edited out due to space constraints. They were later released as “Leftover_1” on Dragon’s Eye Recordings and were further reworked with guest artists to originate the present compilation.

David Sani (Shinkei) was born in 1968 in the heart of Tuscany, Siena. In 2000 he started Microsuoni, mail-order and distribution of sound-art, focused mainly on minimalism in all its forms. After the encounter with composer Luigi Turra in 2008, they founded the Koyuki label, devoted to publish lowercase and minimal sound compositions in limited edition CDs or digital downloads. Shinkei likes to play with the perception of sound, moving on the edge of audibility, exploring the empty spaces between sounds. Usually a new project is developed with each release to experiment with different, unusual sound sources: computer simulated brainwaves, recordings of biological signals, or the snow falling over a microphone…

Mise_En_Scene is Shay Nassi from Tel-Aviv, Israel. Shay (1977) began to study sound engineering at the Jordan Valley College, where he gained a degree in Practical Sound Engineering. Shay produces experimental sound built from different layers such as wave tones, noise, field recordings, and live instrument recordings which when manipulated create a cohesive work of minimal, ambient drone sound. He currently studies at the music technology program and studio at the Bar Ilan University Music department.
