Crisp, clear water flows on either side of me as I drift outward from the beach, my vessel gulping in the fresh air of dawn. The subtle treasure of moss balls are visible below the surface. I disappear into a wall of fog and reach my destination on the other side of the lake. Leaving my boat, I enter a cave, lead by the orange glow of the rising sun I find my village and am greeted by a chorus of birds. I am home. The house is empty, uneasy to accept me at first. I set down my books softly and look around. Everything is in perfect order, peaceful. A toy seems to stare at me from my shelf, a large ship. I pick it up, feeling its weight. Perhaps ten years have passed since I considered this object. It's a strange feeling, an unfathomable loneliness. My thoughts are that some made this, maybe a man in a shop. My mind lingers on this idea of a very lonely old man carving ships and painting them, dying alone with broken hands. There is something comforting about this, it makes me smile. I get back to my boat and begin sailing with seemingly as much ease as putting the toy back on its shelf. This time I have no destination. I drift for so long, I lose all sense of my surroundings. Have I slept? The sky is filled with color. When I consider where I am, there is no direction to take that will bring me home any quicker than another. I am lost. I still haven't let go of the image of that ship. I let the wind guide me for a long while before bumping into the sand, then my legs manage their way back home. I wait for something to stop me but my hands just move by themselves as I take the ship and several other toys, books, a box with old photographs, and carry them outside where I dump them on the ground. After a moment of realization of what has happened, I set fire to the pile. I sit on the grass and watch it burn, holding my hands over my mouth in quiet astonishment. Something is felt that I can't comprehend fully, a resolution. An ending to a cycle. I carry water and pour it over the embers. And once again I wave goodbye to my village and take its peace with me as I travel back through the cave, this time to another area where the sound of water leads me to a place I've never been…..by Joe LiTrenta (Bengalfuel) 

Hidekazu Imashige aka Gallery Six is an artist and composer who lives in Hiroshima, Japan.
For his new album "Gasansui", he has crafted a delicate collection of ambient moodscapes which are ideal for relaxation and introspection. Each track is a gorgeous picture come to life where the sound of birds chirping, water dripping or leaves rustling are underpinned by a bed of majestic keys and soothing pads. Green grass or blue water is often subdued or altogether washed out, allowing the music's form to disappear in mist, as though it is being played from somewhere deep within a painting that threatens to swallow those who look upon it.
Amazing floating ambient music on Shimmering Moods Records. Highly limited CD, 100 copies worldwide, with beautiful artwork in a special package.

Thank you Joe LiTrenta from Bengalfuel for the nice words about this album.

Release date: 24-4-2015

Album Title: In a Dream
Format: CD, limited 100 copies worldwide, hand numbered, special packaging with photo's
Cat. number: SHM CD005

Michiru Aoyama is a 29 year old ambient composer from Kyoto. He studied electronic music in Berlin and the result of that journey lead him to ambient music. Fast forward a couple of years and the young producer has managed to showcase an understanding of experimental music that rivals that of already established artists in the genre. His most recent piece, which holds the title "In A Dream" will be a true soundtrack for the ambient aficionado worldwide. The album opener To You, Relax, gently leads the listener into a warm and calm world where the noise of everyday life seems too far to notice, and too soft to interrupt. Relaxation seems to be the name of the game, and Aoyama sounds like a capable game master. Sparse layers of synths are laid on top of gentle drones and waves of field recordings and the result is a wonderfully serene experience. The music is exactly what it should be, and nowhere does it feel like it becomes overly ambitious or eclectic, which does wonders for the consistency of the overall sound. Pure, organic sounding ambient music by Michiru Aoyama for Shimmering Moods Records. Highly limited CD, 100 copies worldwide, with beautiful artwork in a special package.

"British ambient band Marconi Union has drummed up the world's most relaxing song: Weightless is 8 mins 10 sec. of aural bliss" - Time Magazine, Best Inventions of the Year. 

"An excellent compilation from the always interesting Just Music" - The Sunday Times

"The Ambient Zone is an album that feels like the world is peeling away, layer by layer, into multi-colored panoramas, just for you" - Echoes (CD of The Month)

The Ambient Zone is a beautiful journey into ambient and electronica inspired by universal themes of calmness, purity, relaxation and enrichment where Weightless is coupled with some exclusive first releases and other blissfully ambient tracks from Just Music artists and alumni.

Created instinctively and intuitively by Marconi Union, Weightless has been claimed to have therapeutic properties in the way the track almost appears to have a heartbeat running through it which slows down very gently throughout the piece, encouraging a deep sense of relaxation in the body, It's use of specific rhythms, beep bass tones, frequencies and intervals induce an almost trance like state in the listener.

"The Ambient Zone is an album that just screams (albeit quietly) of pure class" - Fluid Nation.
