As the title suggests, “Late Summer” is a nostalgic, imaginary masterpiece of meditative guitar instrumentals that seems to invite the listener into a sense of Japanese wabi-sabi and the twilight of the soul. Featuring delicate arpeggiated guitar melodies, resonances, and emotions, this album further refines and deepens the sound of his previous solo work, *Silence*. It is a masterpiece of meditative ambient New Age jazz ambient music that also evokes the influence of Krautrock and German electronic music artists such as Ashura and Manuel Göttsching.
