Since their global debut with 2023’s Approach to Anima, maya ongaku has been actively performing live both domestically and internationally, earning high acclaim in various regions. In this work, they focus on the “silence” that lies beyond those experiences, taking a step toward a more introspective and profound sound.
While combining repetitive grooves, delicate ensemble work, ambient spatiality, and improvisation, this album possesses the intimacy of pop music that resonates with human memories and emotions, and is filled with an immersive quality that seems to dissolve the sense of time and boundaries. At the same time, the image of a space called “Nothing Space” emerged during the production process. It is not mere nothingness. It is a vast place where memories from all times—past, present, and future—drift, and where boundaries such as sky and sea, yin and yang, sound and silence melt together. From “Vanishing Waves” to “Permanent Waves.” Crossing genres yet belonging to none, this unique sound resonates deeply not only with the domestic indie scene but also with international listeners. This gem of an album, featuring all eight tracks, marks a new milestone for maya ongaku.
