Repress. The second work in the "WAVE NOTATION" series by Satoshi Ashikawa, a pioneer of Japanese environmental music in 1982, is reissued on vinyl! Minimal ambient music composed only of sound and space, appropriate music that can be used as an environment. The sound design that takes even silence into account is still influencing the scene.
Satoshi Ashikawa's masterpiece, which has been gaining attention again, is included in "Kankyō Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980-1990," focusing on Japanese environmental music, released on [LIGHT IN THE ATTIC], This is the first analog reissue of Satoshi Ashikawa's masterpiece. This is not music as a finished product of self-expression, but music that becomes a landscape. The sound itself is designed to blend in with the environment, and the minimalist approach of Brian Eno is used in this work. The reissue with the artwork by Hiroshi Yoshimura, a close friend of Ashikawa and one of the two greatest ambient artists in the history of Japanese ambient music, is also a joy. Please check it out.
