Finishing off the week with this beautiful new addition to the Hiroshi Yoshimura re-issues series via Temporal Drift

"Originally released in January 1986, Surround was recorded by Yoshimura as a commission from home builder Misawa Homes, intended to function as an “amenity” designed to enhance the company’s newly built living spaces. A pioneer in the field of environmental music, Yoshimura’s previous works included Music For Nine Post Cards (1982), originally produced to be played back inside a museum space, and designing sound environments for public spaces and subway systems. Surround was recorded almost concurrently with the acclaimed and popular GREEN (1986); the two albums are described by Hiroyoshi Shiokawa in his liner notes as being Yoshimura’s yin and yang.

In his original notes for the album, Yoshimura recommends that Surround be placed in the same family of sounds “as the vibration of footsteps, the hum of an air conditioner, or the clanging of a spoon inside a coffee cup.” And, as he suggests, “with the addition of city noise from outside the window,” you may hear Surround in a completely new way."

* First-ever official reissue of the pioneering 1986 ambient work * Produced in full cooperation with Hiroshi Yoshimura’s estate * New liner notes by original album producer Hiroyoshi Shiokawa * Includes Yoshimura’s original notes in Japanese & English * Remastering and lacquer cutting by John Baldwin * Vinyl pressed at Gotta Groove Records

In-stock now on Black LP ($75) and also available to order on limited Blue LP ($85) or Digipack CD ($45)

On 1986’s Surround, Hiroshi Yoshimura wanted to create music that could be part of the listener’s daily life rather than something taking attention away from it.

#nowplaying chilling out with chill out; Hiroshi Yoshimura- ���AIR In Resort”. An ‘amenity record’ commissioned by Shishedo in 1982 to complement their perfumes, its a great blend of form and function; post Eno electronic music meets field recording, beautifully packaged (I don’t have the outer plastic carrier bag the record came in unfortunately). His “Music For Nine Postcards” was reissued a few years ago and if you liked that, you’ll like this #hiroshiyoshimura #airinresort #vinyligclub #vinylcommunity #vinylclub #vinyl #ambient (at London, United Kingdom)

The aforementioned "Erik Satie 1984" by Satsuki Shibano follows Ashikawa’s own "Still Way" (1982) and Hiroshi Yoshimura's "Music For Nine Postcards" (1982). All 3 albums are defining markers of the Kankyō Ongaku movement and remain amongst the most influence Japanese ambient releases of all-time.

Hiroshi Yoshimura, Four Post Cards, 2004.

Hiroshi Yoshimura, Music for Nine Post Cards, 1982.

I don’t post many things here but Hiroshi Yoshimura has been rotating on a loop in my headphones over the past twelve months and thus deserves a humble second post. For Music for Nine Post Cards, loyal to his quest for capturing the eternal,  the noble man got inspired by “images of the movement of clouds, the shade of a tree in summer time, the sound of rain”. 

And this feeling of not knowing who you are should evaporate while listening to this, and you will probably end up floating like a cloud. 

I would love to know more about his life and work, any interesting link / footages / documents suggestions are welcome.
