Soundscape 1: Surround

by

Hiroshi Yoshimura

Surround was commissioned by Misawa Homes Institute of Research and Development as a set of soundscapes for the company’s prefabricated houses, I didn't know this before stumbling into this album but in retrospect it makes a lot of sense.

Yoshimura approaches the task with a very delicate touch and you can easily get lost between the tracks of this album for hours.

I am in love with the sounds used throughout, a blend of the organic and synthetic with a soft, tender quality.
