Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as part of Satoshi Ashikawa's influential 'Wave Notation' environmental music series, this album recontextualizes late-nineteenth-century French impressionist compositions for modern ambient listening. The sparse, delicately performed piano works of Satie and Massenet are highlighted specifically for their proto-minimalist qualities. The curation beautifully connects classical impressionism with the burgeoning Japanese kanky艒 ongaku movement.
