Atomic Phantom is a music project by Japanese artist, designer and composer Jyoti Naoki Eri, who is residing in Auroville, India since 2005.

He was born in an artist family in Kyoto. From birth he was exposed to art and culture spanning a wide range of disciplines. He studied traditional sculpture and practices various art-forms such as calligraphy, painting, ceramic, as well as landscape & space design and more as a profession. All these experiences nourish his sound creation creating a serene atmosphere through sound and silence. 

By curating this compilation album he wishes to offer a positive and inclusive perspective in order to look at life with deep introspection in an aspiration for constructive collective change in the future.

His newly established music label Nādāsana was inspired by the legendary music labels such as Em:t, Ninja Tune, Obscure Records, ECM, Gondwana, Leaving Records, Daisy World and more.

You have the right idea about the Sower. How we react, how we behave, decisions we make, dictates what our future looks like. In the book 'Parable of the Sower' by Octavia Butler, there's a religion called Earthseed and their core belief is God is Change. The only truly inevitable force is Change. Whether its embracing it, living in fear of it, or fighting against it, our relationship with change determines our quality of life.

Title track from the new album out on Azure Vista Records on August 11th! CD and limited edition vinyl shipping now from: azurevistarecords.bandcamp.com

Info:

American ambient masters zakè (a.k.a. Zach Frizzell) and City of Dawn (a.k.a. Damien Duque) return with a mesmerizing follow up to last year's "Agape". The music the two create together reflects the expansive landscapes of their native Texas and Indiana. Slowly unfolding melodies that seem to rise like the sun from a Texas horizon, and drones that resonate like leaves in an endless Indiana woodland. It's a sound that's both beautiful and slightly haunting – a sound that encompasses the listener and demands attention. This is music to get lost in.

Zach and Damien can both be considered veterans of ambient drone by now, and the five composition on Ash present a rarefied ”complex simplicity”. With few means they manage to create sonic and compositional depth, on par with classics of the genre from the likes of William Basinski, Brian Eno and Stars of the Lid.

The CD version of ”Ash” includes the previous album ”Agape”, which hasn't been previously released on CD.

The Globeflower Masters Vol. 2 is the slightly edgier and more grown-up sequel to Mark and Glenn's 2021 debut album. For this excursion, the Brighton-based duo wanted to lean a little further into their European film soundtrack influences, with inspiration mined from the works of Stefano Torossi, David Shire, and Roger Webb. This expansion of their sound builds upon the rich tapestry of cinematic funk à la David Axelrod, Serge Gainsbourg and Morricone that fashioned Vol. 1.

The Deluxe Edition of the album features five new tracks, comprising two new original recordings, a piano solo version of the closing track from the original album, and two remixes from Project Gemini and Andres y Xavi.

‘Shaded By Your Side’ takes things right back to the moody, dark and Axelrod-inflected sound of their first album. Much of this track was played in single takes to try and retain as much of the urgency and spontaneity as possible. 

‘Return to Salvador’ is described by the duo as if “Shuggie Otis and Marcos Valle have one too many caipirinhas and decide to visit outer space”. It fuses together Mark's space sounds and floaty pianos with Spanish guitar and busy, melodic bass creating a musical trip from the grounded and earthy sounds of Vol.1’ to the more upwards-looking and musically diverse sound of Vol.2.

The remixes give a different flavour to the release, but both pay homage to the original recordings. Sharing a mutual admiration for each other’s work, it seemed like a natural choice to ask Project Gemini to contribute. Here is what he had to say about his rework, “I’m a big fan of both volumes of Mark and Glenn’s ‘Globeflower’ LP’s and it was a huge honour to get a chance to rework one of my favourite tunes from Vol.2. There are many great layers to ‘A Voyage North’ so it was a lot of fun to choose my favourite elements, then put some Project Gemini flavours and sounds into the mix and create something new whilst hopefully keeping some of the spirit of the original track. A darker, fuzzier take on the album version”.

When Glenn first passed the original album to Steve KIW, his collaborator in Balearic production outfit Andres y Xavi, this was one of two tracks which he picked out as having some particularly Balearic DNA. As such, pushing this concept to its logical conclusion seemed like the obvious thing to do. There’s a shaded sunset sound paired with a 4/4 beat of Latin-leaning.

Ici et maintenant, c’est avec Juliette Volcler qu’on continue de cheminer dans les espaces ouverts par l’écoute.

Comme une invitation à cultiver au quotidien une attention active et engagée, une attention globale et inclusive qui déclôture nos savoirs et secoue nos propres sous-entendus, voici maintenant quelques pistes d’écoute, entre techniques d’auto-défense, jeux de perspectives, partages des territoires, processus d’émancipation et capacités d’action.

As an invitation to cultivate on a daily basis an active and engaged, global and inclusive attention which opens up our knowledge and shakes up our own innuendoes, here are now some leads for listening, between self-defense techniques, games of perspectives, sharing of territories, processes of emancipation and capacities for action.
