Name: In a Field of Thistle by Zensō in Mujō
Duration: 5 min 30 s
Description: We live near a creek and walk along its banks on most days. The surrounding fields are full of thistles, which attract large numbers of goldfinches this time of year. It’s a beautiful scene I’ve attempted to capture in this composition. I hope you enjoy it!

Nice illustration music. It represents the scene mentioned in the description very well.

Mujō, a profound and ancient concept rooted in Buddhist philosophy, encapsulates the transitory nature of existence. This Japanese term, often translated as "impermanence" or "constancy of change," serves as a reminder of the inherent fragility of life and all temporal things. In a world where everything is in a perpetual state of flux, mujō invites contemplation on the fleeting nature of joy, sorrow, and the very essence of being. 

Mujō's significance extends beyond philosophical musings; it deeply influences Japanese culture and aesthetics. Traditional Japanese art forms like ikebana, wabi-sabi, and haiku often draw inspiration from the concept of mujō. These artistic expressions seek to capture the beauty of the ephemeral, embracing the fleeting moments that define our existence. Thus, mujō serves as a catalyst for finding profound beauty in the transient and mundane. 

Drawing inspiration from the concept of mujō, Zensō’s latest album once again immerses listeners in his distinctive style of ambient-jazz fusion. This musical journey seamlessly melds the tranquil tones of ambient music with the intricate rhythms of jazz, using generative soundscapes and field recordings as the backdrop for elaborate melodic and percussive improvisations.

... IDM/ambient/electronica/glitch I was working on nearly the hole last weekend without an end result ... 

when I listened to the synth-recordings (korg minilogue XD, mega FM, bassstation 2) again today, somehow everything made sense immediately and after adding a few more recording-variations I could finish the hole thing in a few hours :)

Here’s a new experimental ambient-jazz piece about impermanence. Musically, I’m once again experimenting with subtly unstable rhythms and vague meters to create a type of “rhythmic dissonance”.

I hope you find some beauty here. As always, your feedback is carefully considered and greatly appreciated.

Miguel Tenreiro, going by the artistic name Gazpa, is a rising producer and DJ based in Porto, making waves with a string of quality releases over the past three years. He debuts on O Sótão Records with a four-track experimental record titled Dub’n’Bass, which sees him delving into a crossover between Dub, Drum & Bass, Techno, and Ambient music. Due to drop on June 14, 2024, Dub’n’Bass follows his debut solo work No More House (Jazzego, 2023) and I (Jazzego, 2021), the first GAZTWEEN EP, a collaboration project with Arctween (aka Tito Romão).

I started crossing paths with Miguel a year ago, becoming a fan of the Synth Jam nights he hosts together with Tito at the iconic Mr. Bean’s bar in Porto. Much like other characters who wander around, in and out of the bar, it’s always a revelation to come across someone with so much musicality - the kind that bursts out of oneself. This helpless and beautiful instinct that comes to the surface naturally. A way of expressing himself through a sound, a chord, an instrument. But I knew Miguel from before, long ago actually, when we were classmates in elementary school. So in a way, that person I met made all sense, although we lost touch for so long. It just took some time for me to realise it. He was always up to something. He is always up to something.

I approached him not long after that to check if he had any tracks he’d like to release on O Sótão Records. The label was kicking off (well… it still kinda is), and having a musician of such talent, still relatively unknown to the public, was the goal all along. I knew the time would come. And it did a few weeks back, with four beautifully arranged tracks that create space and momentum, reflection and energy, balancing in that limbo of light and darkness. Dub’n’Bass – it makes sense.

This record is made of tracks that were buried in Miguel’s archives of unfinished projects, marking a sonic departure from his latest project No More House (2023). The hypnotic "Roll" and “Tuba” dive deep into Dub & Electronica territory, layering a mesmerising ambient ethos that is present in the rest of the project. Flipping the record, "Trackpad" injects a dose of peaceful Drum & Bass energy, a testament to Gazpa’s exquisite sound design. Just a special note for the last track "Block," which was recorded and produced with Ricardo Martins "Liquid Bass" in Murtosa, at Miguel Almeida "Azak Okena"'s house. A collaborative effort that infuses a Drum & Bass progression with a dose of mystical feelings.

Inspired by a wide range of influences, Gazpa is once again able to create a stimulating sound aesthetic that captivates our imagination – something evident in his musical projects and in the residency he shares with Arctween at Mr. Bean’s bar. Dub’n’Bass reaffirms his vision: never confined to a musical genre, fueled by eclecticism and a candid openness to experimentation. Available on Bandcamp by June 14.
