about

Making my first proper album, 'Agartha', was a very important period for me. I had waited until I was ready and I had a clear vision of what I wanted the album to be. You can hear that in the LP released by Kompakt. That is my trip to find Agartha. During the time I was making the album, I was exploring and experimenting with different tracks and ideas, and I decided now to share some of the results on WIP. These were not part of the album, but intimately connected to the process of making it. Here is the first part, 'Lost Journey'. It will be followed by a second part, 'Forgotten Tales'.

I am very grateful to Kompakt for releasing my album, and all the great feedback I have received. If you have not heard it, please check: wataigarashi.bandcamp.com/album/agartha

I hope you enjoy these tracks as much as I enjoyed making them.

今年5月にKompaktからリリースされたデビューアルバム「Agartha」。その制作は、コロナ禍の約2年間、イメージを熟成させ、ゆっくりと時間をかけて行いました。今振り返ると、これまでの作曲家人生の中でも非常に重要な期間であったと感じています。コンセプトとして「仮想映画音楽」を掲げ、伝説の地下都市「Agartha」で繰り広げられるさまざまなシーンを想像し、音楽を作り出す過程は、それ自体が深い未知への旅のような感覚でした。この期間中、実験的なサウンドスケッチも多く制作しましたが、最終的にアルバムに収録されなかったものもたくさんあり、そのいくつかを今年の秋に完成させました。

これらを「Agartha」の旅の続きとして、今回は第一部「Lost Journey」をリリースし、近々第二部の「Forgotten Tales」もリリースする予定です。

アルバムに関しては、想像以上に多くの素晴らしいフィードバックをいただいており、大変感謝しています。まだ未聴の方は、ぜひ一聴してみてください。

Ethereal and sublime... if I had to sum this up in a sentence, I'd say it almost sounds like Dozzy's take on Berlin-School with some hardware sequencer-esque arpeggios with of course modern touches. Is a collaboration with Steve Roach next? jonarmst
