Summer memories

Summer Memories

This is the second collaboration work by Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata, music composers who also are active as members of Anoice, RiLF, and Films, together with Kenji Azuma, an ambient music artist who plays a range of unusual instruments and the trio’s first EP.

It's been only three months since the previous collaboration single 'Ice Mermaid' with the basis of the song’s sounds created from materials which are related to ice and water. This time, they will release the four songs-included EP 'Memories of the Stone' featuring the sounds of a stone and limestone cave. Just like their previous work, this song is also based on an illustration painted by MATSURICA who also takes charge of the artwork for some of the releases from Anoice, Yuki Murata, and Films, and it is under the theme of the exploration into a cave. A wolf finds a cave in the forest and gingerly goes into it, and steps forward to the deep as if being invited by the sounds of water dropped on the puddle and bats singing. And then, he leaves his body to energetic dance of the ancient animals drawn on the wall...

Like the previous collaboration 'Ice Mermaid', each artist took charge of playing various instruments, but the most notable point in this EP 'Memories of the Stone' is that they mined Sanukitoids, a variety of high-Mg granitoid found in limited area of Japan and recorded its sound in the forest. You should be able to feel the memories of the long and epic history via the beautiful and clear sound of the stone which has existed since ancient times.

Step into an adventure with the main character wolf, Rem, while looking at the illustration.

The Deep Woods (Piano Day 2024)

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.

Third song in my production journey. This song gave me cinematic, video game vibes. There are no lyrics, just the vocals which act as an instrument themselves in a way. It was fun to use one of my more ambient virtual instruments to help make this track. I have a lot to choose from but they all tend to have very distinct sounds you can't just use on any song. This was one of those times that instrument made sense and it gave it a nice background atmosphere sound.
