Any LP with the word cosmic in the title is in with a fair chance of TSMM inclusion. Luckily this ambient opus from Japanese environmental music stalwart Takashi Kokubo & Swiss experimental trombonist Andrea Esperti for WRWTFWW lives up to all expectations, as it simultaneously launches upwards to distant galaxies, goes deep within via previously dormant neural alleyways & prises open doors to long ignored, much needed spiritual dimensions

to be honest, i'm not really sure what i'm into anymore.

i like #gardens and #gardenhistory.

i'm into #classicalmusic but i'm quite picky.

i like trawling #newage and #kankyoongaku (#環境音楽) releases online (although most are bad to average).

❝ Characterized by a spare electronic palette and carefully arranged synthesizers, [kankyo ongaku]’s minimalism stood in contrast to the rampant consumerism of the time. As the fluorescent colors of arcade houses and anime films illuminated the country, [Hiroshi] Yoshimura rendered his work in earth tones. ❞ → https://bowdoinorient.com/2022/04/22/the-yoshimura-revival-environmental-music-in-the-age-of-eco-anxiety/
