Waves are coming in

Immerse yourself in a world where the innocence of children meets the majesty of the ocean.
Children gently play with the waves, capturing the carefree spirit of childhood and the eternal beauty of the sea.
“Ocean” takes you on a journey, not only through the waves of music but also towards a deep awareness of our responsibility towards nature.
Each soothing note is a drop of water in our common quest to protect these precious ecosystems.
"Foam", acrylic on canvas, Antoine Renault.
Mastering, Patrick Delobel.

Heralding a new era of electronic music genius, Akitsugu Fukushima (also known as Aki) hails from Japan. He's composed scores for numerous contemporary Hong Kong films, including the critically acclaimed "Youth," "Madalena," and "Our Eighteen," - which received nominations at the 58th Golden Horse Awards. His compositions have also been featured as official soundtracks for promotional videos at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and Golden Horse Film Festival (2020/2021). 

Notably, Aki's musical prowess has earned recognition from renowned Icelandic musician Ólafur Arnalds, who selected him as one of the winners at his music workshop. Aki's delicate yet vivid compositions breathe life into films, resonating within their frames. In Japan, he's also gained prominence for composing and arranging music for J-Pop artists, including Aimer, known for her songs in anime like "Demon Slayer" and "Chainsaw Man".

Within Aki's creative reservoir lies a tale—an enchanting odyssey of a boy's journey into adulthood, meticulously crafted into the forthcoming mini-album, "Boy 1 EP." Laden with rich Japanese Indie Electronic vibes, this album is a testament to Aki's artistry.

"Hero," the lead single preceding the EP, portrays a young boy idolizing television heroes, until one summer day in the garden, he inadvertently assumes the role of his inner champion, embodying a sense of purpose. "Hero" mirrors the innocence of a prince, unaware of his fictional surroundings, yet resilient in the face of harsh realities, his spirit brimming with hope.

Following suit, "Asobi" (Play) boasts minimalist electronic beats that beckon bodies to sway, accompanied by crystalline piano and strings, showcasing Aki's enchanting electronic allure.

The third track, "Kioku" (Memory), is a poignant masterpiece—its intricate Downtempo electronic textures intertwined with the graceful notes of a guitar, whispering tenderly in your ears.

Closing the album is "Suimen" (Water Surface), where a dreamlike female voice, created through cutting-edge AI technology, enchants listeners with its ethereal quality, casting a surreal aura over this captivating mini-album.

The mastering of "Boy 1 EP" journeyed to Japan, under the expert hands of renowned musician Kashiwa Daisuke, known for his contributions to Shinkai Makoto's film scores and his role as a judge at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

Tale Of The Real Wanderer

A fun stab at yacht rock, Bryan Estepa’s new single is self-aware but not self-conscious, melancholy but not mopey. It’s also got a hook-laden Style Council vibe that’s impossible not to groove to.

----

berhari-hari pedih benar mata
bergenang tak serinya wanita
melawati jari yang terasa
sepi tanpa cincin si perjaka
lalu haru terus hantui
kalbu halus terus diselubungi

duka suaminya jaguh pendekar
hilang tah ke mana
puas juga teroka sebenua
kelibat tak muncul tiba

menangis, sedih, mimpi, 
mungkin kahwin lagi
betapa membara dendamnya
pada bini muda

berani kau curangi aku
oh sayang
mata yang keranjang
akan aku julang
pada hujung keris
yang berkarat, terhakis
pada pangkal tombak
yang mulus ditanak

dengan kesumat dinda
dan bisa si sawa
kau dan adik manis
kan molek dihiris

"menemui adinda tercinta
kanda kini diangkat panglima
barisan hadapan habis mara
kanda tunggu dinda di pusara"
