“genuinely cannot recall a single point of distinction from any of sufjan's guitar tracks, whereas ichiko has chops for days on the rare occasions that she lets em rip“
Their styles aren’t wildly different and neither of them are super distinct either but I think the main difference is Sufjan pays more attention to the dynamics of his playing, emphasizing certain melodies while subduing others, and seems to generally have a bit more attention to detail in that regard. It makes his playing more emotive, while hers is more steady. That lends itself to the sort of hypnotic sounds she often creates though, and there’s an ambient touch to a lot of her music so it makes sense. If you listen to In The Devil’s Territory (it’s banjo but it all carries over) and then Dawn In The Adan you can hear it. Basically Ichiko is a bit more Elliott Smith and Sufjan is a bit more Nick Drake

this would be more convincing if you could frame aoba with artists who actually influenced her instead of grasping for western folk greats you happen to like. listen to anmi yamada
both have a completely different approach to melody. almost all aoba's chord and motif choices are less immediate than sufjan's; his are more actively hooky and openly sentimental, but beyond that v superficial level it's hard to take one as more 'emotive' over the other
you are confusing operating within a generally narrower dynamic wavelength with being 'less dynamic'. aoba's dynamics are the richest part of her sound and have a huge attention to detail to them. read my 0 review for more or just listen more closely
you are comparing an acoustic/banjo player whose writing is primarily focused on lyrical narratives to a classical player whose writing emphasises tones and evasive atmospheres. both artists articulate themselves in wildly different way, and have strikingly different attitudes to the way they incorporate the guitar and, to a lesser degree, to their individual play styles. this comparison is disservice to both parties and reflects surface-level observations and a failure to find a better point of comparison on your part, more than anything else :]

"this would be more convincing if you could frame aoba with artists who actually influenced her instead of grasping for western folk greats you happen to like. listen to anmi yamada"
I'm just describing differences in their guitar style, me comparing Ichiko to someone who didn't influence her isn't relevant to those differences but I will listen to Anmi
"both have a completely different approach to melody. almost all aoba's chord and motif choices are less immediate than sufjan's; his are more actively hooky and openly sentimental, but beyond that v superficial level it's hard to take one as more 'emotive' over the other"
this is true and ties in to the more thoughtful approach to approach to volume/dynamics that Sufjan has, it's natural to play more melodic pieces that way
"you are confusing operating within a generally narrower dynamic wavelength with being 'less dynamic'. aoba's dynamics are the richest part of her sound and have a huge attention to detail to them. read my 0 review for more or just listen more closely"
I mean if you operate within a generally narrower dynamic wavelength it's fair to say you play less dynamically, or at least that there is less of an emphasis on dynamics, although it's possible there's more of that in Ichiko songs I haven't heard. But definitely doesn't seem like a prevalent aspect of her sound to me
"you are comparing an acoustic/banjo player whose writing is primarily focused on lyrical narratives to a classical player whose writing emphasises tones and evasive atmospheres. both artists articulate themselves in wildly different way, and have strikingly different attitudes to the way they incorporate the guitar and, to a lesser degree, to their individual play styles. this comparison is disservice to both parties and reflects surface-level observations and a failure to find a better point of comparison on your part, more than anything else :]"
Not of all his music is based on lyrical narratives but even if it were that wouldn't really matter or take away from his actual sound. Can agree that they articulate themselves differently and their music is just different in general which I already pointed out in the other comment. But I think my main observation of Sufjan emphasizing dynamics in his playing more than Ichiko is true. It's just now occurring to me that I probably insulted the honour of your waifu with my "bargain bin Sufjan" comment, figured you would infer based on context that I was joking but perhaps your powers of insight and observation don't work so well on weekends idk
