Dark Cinematic Music (100 Songs)

The magnificent beginning with an earth‐shaking opening sound.

On the 6th August, the instrumental music band featuring a dark and cinematic sound, Anoice, will release a digital-limited second lead single 'quiet wish' from their ​upcoming 6th album 'The Hidden Forest' which will be available on the 17th September.

This single is included in the album as the third track and also takes on the beginning of the album with main themed melodies. It begins quietly with an acoustic guitar, harp, and viola, and then, a piano and a string quartet formed by two violins, a viola, and a cello, and powerful drums are added. This emotional and magnificent sound is what forms Anoice's originality and this is one of the masterpieces of instrumental music.

Pre-order the album on normal and limited number versions on BandCamp https://riccolabel.bandcamp.com/album/the-hidden-forest

quiet wish (Anoice 'The Hidden Forest')

The freshest sound from Tokyo.

On November 4th, 2022, Anoice, an instrumental music band featuring a dark and cinematic sound, will release their first live album 'Concert in Tokyo 2022’; a recording of their whole concert held in Tokyo on October 14th, only on BandCamp.

During their performance, Anoice played, not only their representative songs such as 'liange' and 'finale' included in their past albums, but also tracks from singles and EPs such as 'nothing there' and 'inner voice'. Kenji Azuma, an ambient music artist who also forms the improvisation music project, Tokyo Ambient Collective together with members of Anoice, recorded the live performance within the atmosphere of the stage of the venue, allowing you to simulate the experience of Anoice's unique sounds changing from sometimes quiet and sad melancholy, to destructive and violent.

This live album will be available to download for free or “Name Your Price” only on the release day on BandCamp. The full concert video is available to view on YouTube. https://youtu.be/3fIarvoPziE

For those who were present at the venue, and those who were not, don't miss this precious experience.

For all those who lost their freedom.

This is the 7th album 'Stories in White' from Anoice, the instrumental band. After the release of their previous album 'The Hidden Forest', they released not only an EP and numerous singles, but also works from the members' solo/side projects; Takahiro Kido, Yuki Murata, Films, Mizu Amane, and Tokyo Ambient Collective, and composed soundtracks for movies and TV drama series. Now the band have finally completed their new masterpiece in the form of a full length album.

This album 'Stories in White' is the final chapter of the trilogy about the modern history of humans, which follows up the band’s third album, 'The Black Rain' which made themselves known to the world through their dark cinematic sound, and fifth album, 'Ghost in the Clocks', which the album itself and each song within the album became the #1 and top 10 most streamed/downloaded instrumental music on Apple Music and iTunes Store in over 20 countries. It could be said that Anoice's culmination of their entire career was built by the beautiful soundscape of the magnificent orchestra-like sound and destructive noise. Of course, like the other two albums, an illustrator, Yoko Shinto took charge of the artworks.

The album consists of beautiful and passionate neo-classical songs played by a piano and string quartet, such as the first lead single 'aria', which Matthew Krivolapov directed its music video and 'lament' and other instrumental rock songs performed by spectacular an orchestral sound, noisy guitar, and dynamic drums such as heard on the second lead single, 'kill lies all', along with 'resonance', and especially 'the rain maker', which consists of over 100 tracks of instruments and samples and captures Anoice's unique sound.

The history has no choice but to hear this album.

Jaeger

A guitar is a tool that I took years to learn ..With a cassette recorder I would sit and learn riffs , chords and play with the various runs ... I would experiment deliberately meshing chords and rhythms together ... Lots of unlistenable would often yield something I could call my own ... I apply this unique to making music on a computer , another tool , .. It still involves the same decisions , choices and taste  as writing on the guitar .. Plagiarism and theft are the methods of the criminal , lazy and moderately talented . mistaking conventional success with art ... This theft can be used as an influence on an artists work at times I agree  .... Borrowing with benefits ?? AI is no threat to anyone apart from those who are running a racket and making tidy cut . They  see their fraud and deceit coming to an end ... Plagiarism has been around since the dawn of time and existed long before AI appeared R :)

I  made this with the help of A.I.

This is the 14th track and a masterpiece of piano solo song featuring a lovely melodies, included in '24 Piano Sketches' that is a new solo album from Yuki Murata, the Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films.

As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. This long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.

This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.

The photos taken by her bandmate of Anoice, Takahiro Kido, on his Polaroid camera every season, are adopted as the cover images of each single, and they will added together with the songs to the following BandCamp page every time a single is released.
