"LOG" is a project by Miyauchi Yuri to create music at his own pace, leaving fragments of music with environmental sounds of the day and place whenever he feels like it. On his official website (miyauchiyuri.com), He upload demo versions made on the same day (or sometimes later). I think I will mainly record and produce music in Chiba, Japan, where I live, but He will also try to do it in various places such as expeditions and travel destinations.

Always I have much to thanks for Nils's friendship and kindness.
I am glad to fulfill the promise with him.
When re-work this song,I wanted to focus on both sound and melody.
So, this is more musical than discarded the initial ambient rework.

Project

Nils Frahm - You (Tomotsugu Nakamura Rework)

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and drift into the stillness between motion. Static Grace lives in D♭ Lydian—a warm, misty key that feels like light diffused through morning fog. Dreamy, slightly off-balance, and quietly sophisticated, this piece hovers in that in-between space where time slows and perception softens. It's a meditation on beauty that doesn't need to resolve—just shimmer and stay.

WRWTFWW Records is honored to announce the much anticipated reissue of Satoshi Ashikawa’s undeniable classic of Japanese environmental/ambient/minimalism, Still Way (Wave Notation 2). The album, available on vinyl (first time since 1982) and digipack CD (with one bonus track), comes with a cover artwork by Hiroshi Yoshimura and liner notes by Midori Takada, Satoshi Ashikawa himself, and Irish producer Gareth Quinn Redmond (whose Still Way-inspired album Laistigh den Ghleo is being released simultaneously on WRWTFWW).

Initially released in 1982 as part of the Wave Notation series*, Still Way is, without a doubt, a seminal Japanese environmental/ambient/minimalism album, often mentioned alongside Midori Takada’s Through Looking Glass and Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Green as one of the genre’s most important pieces.

"Like the moment of stillness, after the wind passes through the garden, when the rain stops for a brief second…" Notably inspired by Erik Satie’s Furniture Music and Brian Eno’s ambient work, Satoshi Ashikawa aimed to compose music "intended to be listened to in a casual manner, as a musical landscape or a sound object…not something that would stimulate listeners but music that should drift like smoke and become part of the environment."

The result is simply phenomenal, subtle minimalism and emotional elegance exquisitely orchestrated by Satoshi Ishikawa and his team consisting of his wife Masami Ashikawa (on flute), Midori Takada (on vibraphone), Yuko Utsumi (on harp), Tomoko Sono (on piano), and Junko Arase (on vibraphone).

In conjunction with Still Way, WRWTFWW is releasing Laistigh den Ghleo, a companion album by Irish ambient/minimalist composer Gareth Quinn Redmond, inspired by Ashikawa’s approach.

*The Wave Notation series also includes Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Music For Nine Postcards album.
