CORRIDOR

I’m always on the hunt for vintage, psychedelic tracks.
This one — if I had to put it into words — carries a faint trace of the ‘80s. But it’s not about nostalgia.
It’s rooted in my love for dub, layered over breakbeats with a post-rock spirit, and driven by a sharp electronic edge.

It’s like New Order suddenly crashing into a session, and the Bristol crew getting into a brawl right then and there.
Chaotic, yes — but a chaos with intent. Noise with direction.

My music is instrumental. I don’t use vocals.
That doesn’t mean I don’t respect them — on the contrary, I hold vocalists and lyricists in the highest regard.
But the story I want to tell doesn’t need words.
I speak through melodies, I scream through beats, and I question through silence.
That’s my form of storytelling.

I know this track might not be easy to grasp right away.
But if you’re into krautrock, post-rock, alternative, hip-hop, IDM, or experimental electronic music —
you just might find something in it that resonates with you.

I’m Japanese.
And I believe there’s something compelling about how a Japanese mind interprets psychedelic sound.
Maybe not as wildly unhinged as Damo Suzuki’s work with Can,
but this is my own vision of a sonic trip — one that’s more grounded, yet still deeply exploratory.

The result is this track,
ironically named — Classy Slang.

If you give it a listen, I’d be honored.
Come take a journey through my world, told entirely through sound.

The shadow of UK new wave, the depth of roots dub.
Guitar filtered through Tommy Guerrero, broken beats from IDM.
The origin: hip-hop. The destination: undefined.

Progressing like post-rock, sinking into lo-fi.
A quiet homage to New Order, Boards of Canada, and Madlib.

About “Flickerstorm (Album Version)”
This track was inspired by the sounds of New Order and Echo & the Bunnymen that kept playing in my head under the moonlight.
I blended those influences with the dub and electronic elements I deeply admire, and it became the very first track I completed as Olttaoff.

Under my previous artist name, my works leaned more toward electronic downtempo. Over time, however, I realized that post-rock is an essential part of my identity, which led me to create this piece. In many ways, it feels like a return to my roots while moving forward.

It also marks a turning point in my process — shifting from hardware-based production to working fully in DAWs. The TR-909 featured on the artwork represents that transition, as well as a tribute to Roland, the iconic maker from my hometown in Japan.

Jeff and I both feel the grieve of letting go. In times like these, though, it might be wiser to move unpredictably. Our special thanks go to the memory of Carlos Castaneda, whose novels and gesta and concepts of reality had had quite an impression on our respective minds when they were a lot younger and infinitely more malleable. It's been a blast!
(a note from stonerjazz) 
The photograph of the lovely bench taken by Jo reminds me of the conversations between Carlos Casteneda and Juan Matus while sitting on benches in city parks  about Magic and human beings and the sheer wonder of this existence--the empty bench signifies  their absence in a most poignant way and the final installment in this definitive journey-- and yes indeed it has been a Blast!:)
please find the complete scalar field collection in it's proper order at soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/sets/scalar-fields and coming NOW to Bandcamp as an album too 😊

part I: journey's end
on the brink of sanity
patterns to puzzle a lot from
radiance translates as "shree"
illuminates the rhizome

as alchemists nurse sympathy
stellar drone and terran hum
dot the i and cross the t
I am many, we are one

and when the falcon's freefall flight
devours Osiris' agony
you sit, you breathe, you call it a night for feathers defy gravity
you have no name, you have no weight uncirculate demummified

Part II: journal's end
Even though, small and uninformed
he seemed to know and though he tried
to get a fix on how and why and when and where
Explanations, few and far between
appearing only in a dream
forgotten in the waking
while brains are baking
and crud is caking on the carcass
while it's slipping in it"s standing
exponentially expanding disappointments
take their toll,
even though, wouldn't trade
this moment for a nickel or
for anything at all
graduated, grateful, gratified beyond belief
time's the culprit
time's the thief

J''ai vu le temps passer 
et senti l'air trembler.  
Et tous ces gens pressés 
et l'orage gronder. 

J'ai tracé sur la page 
quelques traits de pinceau. 
J'ai regardé le ciel 
et voler les oiseaux.

J'ai piétiné le sol 
et la pluie est tombée.
Sur mon bonheur, 
elle a tout emporté. 

Ma jeunesse volage, 
mon coeur, dans les nuages. 
Et la lumière du soir 
comme un habit doré. 

J'ai regardé le soleil doucement se coucher. 
J'ai vu qu'on pouvait être heureux. 
Auprès des êtres chers, 
de tous ces gens pressés. 

J'ai regardé les branches, 
s'incliner sous le vent. 
Et sous un champ d'étoiles,  
je me suis allongé. 

J'ai tracé sur la page 
quelques traits de pinceau. 
J'ai regardé le ciel 
et voler les oiseaux.

J'ai regardé le soleil doucement se coucher. 
J'ai vu qu'on pouvait être heureux. 
Auprès des êtres chers, 
de tous ces gens pressés.

Leger
I saw time passing 
and felt the air tremble.  
And all those people rushing by 
and the storm rumbling. 

I traced a few brushstrokes 
on the page. 
I watched the sky 
and the birds flying.

I stamped my feet on the ground 
and the rain fell.
It washed away 
all my happiness. 

My fleeting youth, 
my heart, in the clouds. 
And the evening light 
like a golden robe. 

I watched the sun set gently
I saw that it was possible to be happy. 
With loved ones, 
all those people in a hurry. 

I watched the branches 
bend in the wind. 
And under a field of stars,  
I lay down. 

I drew a few brushstrokes 
on the page. 
I watched the sky 
and the birds flying.

I watched the sun gently set. 
I saw that it was possible to be happy. 
With loved ones, 
with all those people in a hurry.

The Great Epiphany

Not Underground. Not Mainstream. Just Left Ground.

Left Ground Music stands outside the boundaries of genres and scenes.
We are neither part of the mainstream nor the underground—we exist in the “left ground”, a space where sound refuses to conform.

From electronica, dub, and ambient to post-rock textures, our releases carve out soundscapes that demand attention, not background listening.
Born in Japan, our music captures the collision of urban noise and natural silence, offering listeners a sonic experience that feels both familiar and alien.

This is music for those who walk the edges of reality.
This is Left Ground.
