Q+A
Please introduce yourself
- I’m Hoshina Anniversary from Tokyo, Japan.
Musician making tracks w/ traditional Japanese instruments. 

Can you describe your relationship to music throughout your life?
- I started playing the guitar at the age of 16, having been struck by Billy Joel, The Police, and Prince when I was 14.
Eventually, I started playing the bass, got into jazz/fusion, and found that music became a great way to express myself.
Music gives me endless possibilities and allows me to connect with so many people.

How does Japan influence the way you make and listen to music?
- Being Japanese was complex when it came to music.
For example, if I had a yearning for the hard rock of LA in the 80's, I was disappointed that I could never be like that as a boy.
I don't like music that uses Japanese instruments, it's too tacky, or it's not music I want to wear.
So I am reconstructing Japanese music in my own way, watechno.
I am making this music in the hope that if I, as a boy, heard this music, I would have hope for this country.

How is like in Tokyo for you, both in terms of music and life in general?
- In terms of music, I really don't know what I can do in this country.
Sometimes I feel helpless, thinking that no matter how much music I make, it will never amount to anything.
However, my music cheers me up even when I am in such a mood.
Anyway, I enjoy doing music.
In terms of my daily life, I would say that my days are pretty ordinary.
But only Japan is getting left behind, the economy is getting worse, and people may not be feeling the high spirits.
But I enjoy coffee every day.
There are good coffee shops in my town.

How did you approach your Patience release, and how did that differ from your usual approach to making music?
- I thought about story-based and things like, "It would be interesting to see this kind of development.
I think I prefer to add a characteristic chord progression rather than to keep a certain groove.
I usually write songs with some degree of story-based, but I had never written a song longer than 15 minutes, and it was a fun challenge.
I'm grateful for the opportunity and I think I gained a lot of insight.

Do you have a personal favorite longform piece of music?
- Miles Davis - Mademoiselle Mabry (Miss Mabry)
Steve Reich - Sextet
Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive
CATHERINE CHRISTER HENNIX - Equal Temperament Fender Mix
Chick Corea - Steps-What Was

What was the idea behind this mix?
- I included songs with my characteristic chord progressions and distinctive sounds.
Some tracks that will be released in the future, other tracks that were recently released by Modern Obscure music by moniker Suemori, and unreleased etc.

Radio Sessions 005

Recorded in Piteå, Sweden, 1st Of October 2022 at Studio Acusticum's Black Box room as a part of Klubb Kluster / Resonans Festival 2022.

This is the first session of Hjärngymnastik recorded outside of the safe space given by my living room walls. A downtempo ordeal diving deep in to hypnotic acid, lush IDM, breaks, electro, sci-fi bleeps, space station ambient and futurist techno. Like all previous Hjärngymnastik recordings, all tracks used were produced before the year 2000.

A big thanks to KLUSTER and https://soundcloud.com/sumorai for inviting me to play.

Tracks by David Morley, Biosphere, The Higher Intelligence Agency, Peter Benisch, em:t, Planet Dog, Rising High Records, New Electronica, Elektrolux, The Bionaut, Apollo, Warp Records, Applied Rhythmic Technology, Ebi, Likemind, B12, Mille Plateaux, MFS, F.U.S.E, Plastikman and Air Liquide to name a few, are featured in this recording.

Chillout rooms should be obligatory. Bookings open for those wedding reception/afterski/bar mitzvah/dorf disco/frat bro parties with the popular downtempo electro-acid IDM theme in mind.

Hjärngymnastik 203: Chondromalacisk Däckskiftning

Fluid Audio announces 'Series Of Room', the quietly moving new release from Italian composer Grotta Veterano. Mastered by Ian Hawgood and featuring cover artwork by Danish artist Øjerum, the album offers a deeply introspective journey through sound, memory, and emotional architecture.

Initially recorded as a series of private piano sketches - “written improvisations, controlled sketches” - the tracks were never intended as a cohesive album. Yet when brought together, they began to resemble something whole: a constellation of internal spaces, unresolved and beautifully unrefined.

“They ended up becoming a series of rooms,” writes Grotta Veterano, “each one made of memory, of recurring fragments from the past, reconstructed over time. When I say ‘a series of rooms,’ I mean the ones we carry inside us, not physical spaces.”

Each piece unfolds like an overheard thought, a door left ajar. There’s no grand statement here-only presence, absence, and the trace of something lived. With its unadorned fragility and its refusal to over-explain, Series Of Room speaks in the language of quiet honesty.

The album is presented in a meticulously handcrafted edition of 50 copies, drawing from the same tradition of tactile collage and analogue storytelling that has defined recent Fluid Audio editions. Each set features original Ordnance Survey map segments, cloth-backed and carefully bound, forming a unique shell for each copy. Also included are custom-designed A6 prints on heavyweight uncoated stock, vintage photographic slides, black & white travel photographs, photo negatives, and salvaged book pages from. Fragments of reel-to-reel field recording tape, antique travel stubs, and ephemera gathered from forgotten drawers complete the assembly.

All elements are housed in a hand-waxed, stamped, scented archival bag, individually numbered. No two packages are alike. No repress.

Audio: Grotta Veterano
Mastering: Ian Hawgood
Cover artwork: Øjerum
Design: Daniel Crossley
