about

Cat.#: LONTANO-S-CD40
Release date: 15/12/2023
Format: CD, Digital

"A featherlight love letter to Japanese agrarian life that draws parallels between ambient, field recording, and Brazilian guitar music.."
(Bandcamp "New and Notable" review)

- -

The album expresses the cross-relationship between the idea of inner work and farm work, which was inspired by Murakami's experience in the Japanese countryside, where he stayed for several months in 2022, learning from organic rice cultivation and forest restoration.
Each song is based on stories and teachings he learnt from the farmers, as well as the existence of the living creatures and plants he observed. Daily activities in the field are full of repetition and unpredictability, which inspired him to think of the countryside ("inaka”, in Japanese) as a place of internality, or inner place.
The sounds are composed of a combination of acoustic instruments with an experimental texture process generated by some guitar pedals and a tape loop process. The music constructions are a mixture of some drone/ambient texture and the influence of jazz/ Brazilian choro chord progressions, using Brazilian classical/steel 7 string guitar, electric guitar, bass, analog/digital synth and voice.
