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.
