本日18時から、Daphniaにて、ベルリンを拠点としてるGrand Riverを迎えます!私たちはずっと彼女のファンでしたので、関西に呼べるチャンスに飛びつきました。  
当日は、彼女は「Tuning the Wind」という作品を披露します。風の音を楽器として使い、自然と電子音の境界を溶かすような没入感たっぷりのサウンド体験です。Daphniaの音響システムでこれを聴くのは、本当に特別な体験になると思います。ぜひ遊びに来てください!

Muzan is delighted to welcome the inimitable Grand River to Osaka today at Daphnia. With releases on labels such as Spazio Disponibile, Editions Mego, and Ghostly International, we've been fascinated by Aimée's music for a long time, so when she contacted us we jumped at the chance to bring her to Kansai.
For next week's show, she will be performing her piece Tuning the Wind, a deeply immersive sound experience where wind is the primary instrument, magically blurring the lines between natural and synthesized sounds. Listening to this on Daphnia's sound system is going to be unforgettable. We sincerely hope you can join us~~~

In addition to Muzan's Endurance, we've invited Yuri Urano and YAMA, two of the best sonic explorers in Japan, to perform next Sunday as well.
After having just released Yuragi, her second album with Muzan, Urano brings together carefully collected field recordings and masterfully sculpted electronics, continually pushing the boundaries of ambient music.
YAMA, a buyer for Newtone Records, is one of the most brilliant selectors we know. Her depth and breadth of knowledge and love of music - whether techno, house, or ambient - never fails to transport listeners beyond time and space. Please join us for a night of deep sound and experience.

Huge thanks to Collin Smith for featuring Muzan in the Tape Label Report!!
It's no exaggeration to say that without Bandcamp, there would be no Muzan - so being included in a write-up on our favorite platform is even more exciting for us!
In addition to some lovely and well-deserved love for 's Touch Again (2021), cover art for two other releases were featured: Bastian Void + Endurance's split tape (2024) and Endurance's Further (2023)!
Pop over to Bandcamp to read this month's Tape Label Report - and do stop by our page as well!

“An evening with Muzan Editions”


David Edren (Muzan Editions | Belgium)

DUP SYS (Muzan Editions | Japan)

Kris Keogh (Muzan Editions | Australia) .supersupersounds

We’re delighted to announce David Edren’s Osaka debut. DUP SYS and Kris Keogh will join us and complete this Muzan family get-together. We can’t be happier to do this at one of, maybe the best, address for experimental music in Osaka - Environment 0g.

David Edren
ベルギーのアントワープを拠点に活動する電子音楽家David Edrenが大阪初上陸。
「植物」や「茶」をテーマに禅を感じさせる穏やかで詩的なアンビエント.モジュラーシンセを用 い、ガムランのような音色のアルペジオが多層的に重なり合いながらポリリズムを形成していま す。
David Edren has been an essential part of Belgium’s alternative music scene since the early 2000s. His albums and live performances are a deep dive into the world of a kosmische polyrhythmic minimalism inspired by fauna and flora, botanical gardens and tea. You can experience this on his latest release “Daarbuiten”, released on Muzan Editions last spring.

DUP SYS
大阪を拠点に活動するDUP SYSと共に, アンビエント、ドローン、辺境、エクスペリメンタルな世
界に入り込みましょう
Over the years Osaka’s DUP SYS has become one of our favorite live acts. Get ready for lush sounding ambient combined with John Hassel-like field recordings that transports the listener to another realm and times.

Kris Keogh
オーストラリアのミュージシャン、プロデューサー、アートデザイナー, クリス・キオも出
演決定!グリッチエレクトロニクスとアンビエントのジャンル混血児サウンド。
It’s an honor to have Kris Keogh, musician, producer, mastering wizard and art designer from Australia, back in Osaka and play one of his rare gigs. His release “Processed Harp Works, Vol 3” is one of the most beautiful albums we have in our catalog. He’s a master of creating sounds that are layered into dense, epic wall of sounds - glitched electronics meets ambient.

You can PRE-ORDER our new batch NOW!

Release date: Oct 18

This time we have three stellar albums for you:

Owl - Celestial Echoes
Günter Schlienz - Software
Yuri Urano-Yuragi

Celestial Echoes and Yuragi were mastered by the mighty 🙏

Owl- Celestial Echoes
We welcome Belgium’s Owl to Muzan Editions. He’s released some of our favorite deep techno and ambient albums on labels like Silent Season and Huinali. For “Celestial Echoes” he spent some time in the mountains of Switzerland where he recorded the foundation of the album and used modular synthesis to refine each song in his studio. He describes it as an attempt to capture the tension between light and dark, clarity and confusion, and finding meaning in the in-between. 

Günter Schlienz-Software
After a two year hiatus, Günter Schlienz is back with Muzan. “Software” can be described as his most minimalistic and abstract work to date. With DIY modular synth, second hand reel-to-reel tape machines and field recordings he created an album that is soft and cozy, but delivers an undeniable coldness underneath its warmth.  

Yuri Urano-Yuragi
We’re happy to have Yuri Urano join us again. She’s been very busy with her multidisciplinary work, performing at MUTEK Montrea/Tokyol and events all over the world. Her daily practice with singing bowls and field recordings inspired her to focus on moments where resonance and vibration played a major role during her work process. It feels like each tone on “Yuragi” is moving and oscillating.

Spring Batch 2024

David Edren - Daarbuiten

Jesse Perstein & Shinya Sugimoto - Fallen


DUP SYS - Pure Materials

David Edren - Daarbuiten

We’ve been huge fans for quite some while and we’re happy to announce our first collaboration with Belgian sound maestro David Edren. On Daarbuiten or “The outside” Edren showcases his idea of painting a vivid portrait of the great outdoors. His gamelan-like rhythms and catchy melodies create a sound that feels dynamic and playful at the same time.

Jesse Perlstein & Shinya Sugimoto - Fallen

Sontag Shogun’s Jesse Perslstein and Shinya Sugimoto join us again with a follow-up to 2019’s “I Confess”. A long-form piece broken into four parts, that tells a story of change, of love found and lost. Using soundscapes taken from travels, voicemails, conversations about loss and love, and adding lamenting vocals, noise and piano, this album encapsulates the distance between people, both geographic and emotionally, and the delicate passage of time.

DUP SYS - Pure Materials

We’re extremely delighted that to have the chance to release a new album by DUP SYS, one of Osaka’s finest ambient acts. The nine tracks on “Pure Materials” sound like an updated version of John Hassel’s idea of 4th world music. Put your headphones on and feel fully immersed in DUP SYS’ rich sounding combination of field recordings and evocative soundscapes.

We hope you enjoy!

夢山は、来週水曜日に、過去数年間で私たちの大好きなサウンド探検家の1人、Sybilとのパーティーを開催します。テクノとアンビエントの両方を同じくらい巧みにプレイするSybilのDJスタイルは、忍耐強く推進力があり、聴衆を包み込む音響のレイヤーをゆっくりと展開します。彼女がMonument、Crack Magazine、Patterns of Perception などに提供したミックスは、物語性に溢れた躍動感のあるものとなっています。
5月8日の水曜日、大阪のAreaにて、絶対の安定感と信頼のおけるパフォーマンスを提供してくれるMOMOとDJ Moritaにも出演を依頼しSybilを迎えます。深く没入できる音の夜を一緒に楽しみましょう!

Muzan is delighted to announce that next Wednesday we’ll be holding a party with Sybil, one of our favorite sonic explorers in recent years. Equally adept at playing both techno and ambient, Sybil’s DJing style is both patient and propulsive, carefully developing zones of sound that envelop and energize the listener. Her mixes on such platforms as Monument, Crack Magazine, and Patterns of Perception are wildly enjoyable lessons on how to balance both slow tension building and irresistible momentum.
As you can imagine, we are absolutely thrilled to be hosting her next week at Osaka’s Area – and with the support of two of our favorite DJs – MOMO and DJ Morita. So please join us for a night of deep and immersive techno with some of the best selectors we know.

Muzan Editions is honored to welcome SBat once more to our growing collection of mixes and sets by friends near and far. For this installment, we present SBat's ambient set at the wonderful Liminal Dreams party in Tokyo, this time held at (2023.12.10).
SBat conjures up a shimmering dreamscape of sounds that warps seamlessly between genre and mood, guiding the listener through nostalgic rememberances, glistening electronic futures, and hazy mirages that elude categorization. We recommend getting very comfortable and organizing some proper listening conditions before drifting off (and drifting deep) into this one.

We'd like to thank the Liminal Dreams crew for signing off on our use of Sbat's set. LD has a special place in the hearts of us here at Muzan. Not only are they an integral part of the flourishing ambient scene in Tokyo, but were kind enough to invite Endurance to their very first event - and Dérive to their latest party last month! Their lineups are always incredible, with past special guests including artists like Sunju Hargun, Chris SSG, Sapphire Slows, and Jane Fitz - just to name a few. All of which makes us even more excited to be showcasing a set from one of their events. Enjoy!
