Forever [INJACOMP002]

Japanese born, London-based artist @hinakoomori has announced details of her forthcoming debut full-length album, ‘a journey…’, to be released on March 18th. The release will be celebrated with a special performance on March 19th in the Purcell Room at London’s Southbank Centre accompanied by London Contemporary Orchestra.

'a journey...' sees Omori experimenting with the physical and psychological effects of different frequencies, meditating on healing and soothing sounds and taking inspiration from the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest-bathing. It's a delicate and warm record, glistening with light, as Hinako's otherworldly vocals drift over organic textures carved from field recordings and analogue electronics.
 
Today she shares the album’s title track "A Journey", where gauzy voices drift and gather across electronic plains, describing it as “a journey through the cartography of the mind, piecing together past events which seem to appear differently each time - revisiting memories, and healing cognitive distortions”
 
The accompanying video, created by Emi Takahashi, (http://emitakahashi.ca) captures the peaceful essence of nature and soothing glow found within the music. Takahashi comments: “The video is an ode to the lush and immersive soundscape. Inspired and guided by nature, the collected footage captures environmental glimpses that evoke fragments of personal memory. A risograph-printed analog treatment echoes the voice in fleeting moments.”

"In this song, I borrowed the beautiful words from a poem by my friend and poet/philosopher Emily R Grosholz and put them to music. I met Emily when we sat next to each other on a plane to Philadelphia in 2018 - since then we reconnected online and have  been sharing work with each other."

"Emily very kindly sent me a book of hers called “Great Circles: The Transits of Mathematics and Poetry” which I just fell in love with - she travels all over the world hosting lectures, and much of her writing and poetry also incorporates tales from her travels. “The Richest Garden in your Memory” immediately stood out to me and I couldn’t stop thinking about it - so it inspired me to set the words to a melody, and interestingly, it was the quickest composition to come about on the whole record."

Lyrics:

Forget, for food improvident and spare
The richest garden in your memory;
Bring down the white fruit from the tree
Which is too heavy for the tree to bear.

The richest garden in your memory
You shall begin to change, with that despair
Which is too heavy for the tree to bear,
The secret vision that you are not free.

You shall begin to change with that despair,
The moon that skews the circle of the sea.
The secret vision that you are not free
Is no less true for wisdom, no less fair.

The moon that skews the circle of the sea,
Promises of apples hung among the air,
Is no less true for wisdom, no less fair;
Weigh them, silver in your hand, for me.

Poem by Emily Grosholz

Lyrics:

"I tried to visualise
what it was like through
your eyes
 
But all I could see
closed in on me
 
the fragility
 
I wish I could let you know
that every passing moment
will fall like the snow
 
Not settling
disappearing without a trace
before you
 
Let me be your eyes
let me guide your light 
through the darkness
 
Let me be your eyes
let me shine a light
on your darkness
 
I promise there’s a way"

i heard this song for the first time last week, and became totally fixated by charlotte's stunning production, voice, and her lyrics + accompanying video (featuring a hypnotic moving portrait of women on their early morning commute) released around the time of the women’s march this year - there’s a great interview with charlotte in sophomore magazine where she discusses the message behind it.

thanks so much for your beautiful music charlotte ❤️
