Track List

What began as a stoic experiment limited to the use of only electric guitars eventually evolved organically with the addition of piano, cello, and trumpet. While dramatic developments are absent, a soundscape that shifts subtly over time—one that evokes a sense of narrative—spreads out gently. “I wanted to create a work that simply allows you to ‘be’ within the sound. Without expecting anything”—the spirit that seems to exude such gentleness is truly precious. Ambient Americana. Take a deep breath. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
