Text by Kankyō Records:

"This work is an original essential oil that uses 100% naturally derived ingredients inspired by [daytime], and a cassette containing songs created by Tokyo-based electronic musician "H.Takahashi" based on the image evoked by the scent. A set of tapes. Yudai Osawa, who also designs the logo for Kankyō Records, is in charge of the package design. Enjoy an organic space experience through the fusion of volatile and gradually changing scents and music. Comes with DL code. Limited to 100 sets each. [Kankyō Records]

A series "Sound incense" launched by Kankyo Records, a record shop based on the concept of "listening in a living environment" with a focus on ambient and new age. When I heard the outline of the project, which was based on the theme of [morning, noon, and night], the music was produced in such a way that the image was expanded from the organic essential oils that were made for each of them. I realized that it was one of the ways to raise the resolution of , and make the music he sends more familiar and focused on life, and I hit my knees.

As many of you may know, when you access the Kankyo Records web page, the words "Select by Your Environment" will appear, and the time will be Morning, Noon, Night. You can choose various situations in your life such as axis, Bath Room and Eat. With the spread of the coronavirus and changes in lifestyles, the way people relate to and listen to music has had to change dramatically. It may be an inevitable flow that Kankyo Records was born to present a way. Furthermore, while record shops of all kinds have appeared and disappeared like bamboo shoots after the rain, there is probably no other shop like this that truly practices ambient music. .

In addition to being an ambient artist, H.Takahashi is also an architect, and shortly after he started making music, he released music from the prestigious US underground label "NOT NOT FUN". At that time, he had heard about songwriting, but to his surprise, he only used the iPhone's built-in music production app, Garage Band. He says he's making music in At that time, he said that architectural design and music composition are very similar, which left a strong impression on me. In the end, for him, the act of making music and having it heard is not forcing anyone to do anything, but blending into everyday life, giving a little moisture and peace of mind, designing buildings and letting people live. It may be something like a single flower casually decorated in the living room, which is connected to the act of doing so.

First, let's smell the essential oil that inspired the song "Orange". I don't know what it smells like because the minute amount of ingredients are intricately involved, but the refreshing citrus ingredients spread through the nasal cavity and go out from the tip of the nose. After that, it is probably a fragrant wood, and the scent of elegant wood with a slightly heavy feeling and the scent of rosemary remains faintly, so the balance between refreshing feeling and sweetness is exquisite. It is a very three-dimensional scent with a certain harmony. After enjoying the warm and positive effect of the aroma that changes with the passage of time, let's listen to the sound from there.

Those who imagine the introspective, minimalist, pale and beautiful soundscape, which is one of H.Takahashi's styles, may be a little surprised. With tropical instruments such as the marimba and kalimba, environmental sounds reminiscent of a tropical rainforest, and the chirping of birds, various scenes appear and disappear as time passes along with the fragrance, and the scent becomes sharper with the aroma oil. It's an exotic New Age work that has a sweet and dangerous scent that opens your eyes even more. Relax and enjoy your nose and ears, dive into the sea of memories and images, expand your perception from scent to sound, smell to hearing, and a deeper sound trip awaits you. . [DJ Samohan Kinpo] "

While his past work has focused largely on solo piano, Purple Decades is an exploration into soundscapes, electronic textures, and hypnotic musical environments. While many tracks on the album still feature piano or keyboards in some form, the compositional approach is accompanied by extensive work with reverb, foley, and orchestral electronic arrangements, and some tracks have eschewed the piano completely, opting instead for immersive and texturally rich auditory journeys.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach of the 8 songs on 'Journey Test' convey a sense of serene movement and cinematic scale, conjuring the horizon line of landscapes both distant and internal, a wordless dialectic between contentment and nostalgia.

I wanted to take the same vibe and overall aesthetic that I had created with my solo piano work, but really strip down the compositional approach into something that focused on the sound itself. Basically bringing the background to the forefront. And instead of traditional instruments, I wanted to use electronic sounds, but still in a way that it sounded very organic, almost to the point where you didn't know if you were listening to an orchestra or a bunch of synthesizers. I didn't use a lot of different electronic instruments for the album, but rather I focused on what each instrument could bring to the table in terms of texture, noise, organic sounds, and subtle details that could all be combined into something that was an experience. Something that took the listener on an auditory journey without them having to make an effort to get there.\"\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Purple Decades\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Beacon Sound\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-11-23T07:09:42+09:00","created_at":"2024-11-22T18:25:09+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","beacon sound","lp","neo classical","new","post newage"],"price":355500,"price_min":355500,"price_max":355500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46883536077050,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Purple Decades \/\/ Journey Test LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":355500,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"769791982314","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a3978159167_16_51840b7a-c736-44b8-b8fa-325dca47c7a1.jpg?v=1700714424"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a3978159167_16_51840b7a-c736-44b8-b8fa-325dca47c7a1.jpg?v=1700714424","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32733673816314,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a3978159167_16_51840b7a-c736-44b8-b8fa-325dca47c7a1.jpg?v=1700714424"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/a3978159167_16_51840b7a-c736-44b8-b8fa-325dca47c7a1.jpg?v=1700714424","width":700}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eアメリカ・オハイオのピアニストPurple Decadesが、2023年1月に同国Beacon Soundからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eひたすらに穏やかなポストニューエイジ・ネオクラシカルアンビエント8曲を収録。DLコード付属。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2949064839\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=4183770034\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2949064839\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/beasou\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/beasou\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Beacon Sound releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk us for digital files. 12\" black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan style=\"mso-tab-count: 1;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.

While his past work has focused largely on solo piano, Purple Decades is an exploration into soundscapes, electronic textures, and hypnotic musical environments. While many tracks on the album still feature piano or keyboards in some form, the compositional approach is accompanied by extensive work with reverb, foley, and orchestral electronic arrangements, and some tracks have eschewed the piano completely, opting instead for immersive and texturally rich auditory journeys.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach of the 8 songs on 'Journey Test' convey a sense of serene movement and cinematic scale, conjuring the horizon line of landscapes both distant and internal, a wordless dialectic between contentment and nostalgia. Tracks like the piano-driven 'Kagami' and the slow-building title track (whose crescendo brings to mind Sigur Ros) emphasize beguiling and cyclical melodies\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e while 'Pathway' leavens the mood with a glacial sweep, all the while drinking from the same sense of wonder and openness that pervades the whole album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the artist's own words: \"After many years of writing nothing but music for solo piano, I was ready for something new when I began the process of creating Journey Test. I wanted to take the same vibe and overall aesthetic that I had created with my solo piano work, but really strip down the compositional approach into something that focused on the sound itself. Basically bringing the background to the forefront. And instead of traditional instruments, I wanted to use electronic sounds, but still in a way that it sounded very organic, almost to the point where you didn't know if you were listening to an orchestra or a bunch of synthesizers. I didn't use a lot of different electronic instruments for the album, but rather I focused on what each instrument could bring to the table in terms of texture, noise, organic sounds, and subtle details that could all be combined into something that was an experience.
