Forwind kicks 2016 off with three powerful new EP’s by Tokyo's Tomonari Nozaki. The first instalment 'Credence' is Tomonari's first new material on the label since his hugely well received debut 'North Palace' in 2013.

The new compositions see Tomonari experimenting with even denser layers of sound, morphing acoustics and chugging industrial rhythms, all while keeping his distinctive and much loved tape recorded sonics hissing and gestating away.

One of the themes of this album is, I would say, dawn, new beginnings, taking the first steps on a new journey and so on, and many of the sounds used on it were recorded early in the morning. Several feature water, be it rain or a gently burbling forest stream. The recorded sounds were then processed in various ways to create soundscapes which hopefully have something of the life and organic feel of nature in them. A commentator online once described my Snufmumriko music as ”soundscape cloth woven from field recordings” or something along those lines, and i think that’s an apt description. There’s also an almost spiritual dimension to these tracks, and I was often in a very introspective mood as I created them.

SVLBRD - Flint (Remodel)

Taken from 'Intimacy' released July 19, 2019. Available on CD & Digital from Past Inside the Present: https://pitp.bandcamp.com/album/intimacy

'I find intimacy to be a natural occurrence. Like water evaporating when the sun warms its surface, the experience of intimacy can be described as the secondary glow of a radiance too bright to experience directly – that of the unity which underlies all existence. 

In essence, we are already beyond intimate with all things, dissolving in the perpetual light of one Sun. 

In dreams, we may feel the glow of its rays.' 

~ Ludvig Cimbrelius

粘り気のある毎日の中で 
変わらず光り輝く真緑の苔 
その瑞々しさは生気そのもので 
瞼を閉じてなお 
静かな息遣いが聞こえてくる 

In the midst of persistence every day 
Blue-green moss shining brightly as ever 
Its freshness is the very life 
Even eyelids closed and still 
Quiet breathing can be heard
