🌙 NEW RELEASE - OUT 27 SEP 🌙

Hiroshi Ebina『Into the Darkness of the Night』

Hiroshi Ebina returns with "Into the Darkness of the Night," a lullaby for the sleepless. This follow-up to "In science and the human heart" deepens his serene analog dreamcore, crafted for the quiet hours of the city night. Inspired by his partner's insomnia, Hiroshi offers a sonic balm for restless minds and sound health, exploring the nightly ritual’s profound and sacred nature.

Through nine tracks, the album mirrors our nightly descent into sleep, from twilight's bright synths to dreamscape's mid-range tones. Minimalist sound design using music boxes, wine glasses, and Eurorack synthesizers, with sounds fed through a half-century-old NAGRA IV tape machine.

Releasing on September 27, 2024, via KITCHEN. LABEL, "Into the Darkness of the Night" will be available on limited edition transparent blue vinyl LP, CD, and digital formats, with artwork by Yoichi Onoda and mastering by Joseph Branciforte.

Announcing the relaunch of Meitei’s Agate ~ Kofū Tour 2024 in Japan 🪨

Meitei is excited to return and present the complete live set from the Kofū trilogy, featuring the latest album, Kofū III 〰️

Meitei will showcase two distinct sets on the tour: the beat-driven “明” set and the ambient “暮” set, metaphorically capturing the vibrant energy of light and the serene tranquility of twilight.

The tour title 「瑪瑙」denotes agate, a mineral recognised for its healing properties. Meitei articulates a personal experience, elucidating how the enigmatic essence of this stone, emerges as a symbol of resilience and recovery, offering solace in the face of complexity. It serves as a representation of Meitei’s growth over the past 5 years while creating the Kofū trilogy.

Introducing ‘A Path to Open Air II,’ the evolution of Tobias Wilden’s 2013 album. This new release deepens the introspective journey of its predecessor, exploring Wilden’s connection to nature through atmospheric acoustic soundscapes. Inspired by landscapes, Wilden’s compositions blend acoustic and classical elements, including guitar, cello, double-bass, and the Sanshin. He integrates orchestral and electronic components to create impressionistic musical sketches that oscillate between melodic allure and dissonant intrigue, inviting listeners into a profound contemplation.

To commemorate the release, Tobias Wilden will be touring Japan with shows in Tokyo and Nara in June.

The new repress of Meitei / 冥丁 Kofū is out today on 180g black vinyl. Faithful to the original press, it features a debossed cover, an obi strip, and 16-page inserts, all printed on premium uncoated art, book, and washi-paper. Available now in stores and online: https://lnk.to/kofu1

Meitei shares his thoughts about the album:

“To all the dear over all people who love Meitei’s work.

This is the fourth repress of Kofū in total. This is because everyone around the world loves this work, and we love it too. Speaking a little bit greedily, I personally believe that we have created a truly unique, genre-bending and one of a kind art form. It’s also a kind of 1st achievement point in my life. I will always be grateful for these miracles and gift of life.

Thank you so much all from the bottom of my heart.”

Kin Leonn 'mirror in the gleam' - Live Audiovisual Performance

Get Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.sg/e/kin-leonn-mirror-in-the-gleam-live-audiovisual-performance-tickets-910203923437

Date: Saturday 22 June, 2024
Venue: T:>Works, 72-13 (72 Mohamed Sultan Rd 239007)
Time: Doors 730pm, start 8pm
Price: SGD45 (excl. booking fee)
Limited capacity, no tickets at door
Seated event

Live: Kin Leonn (Piano, Synthesizer, Samples, Electronics)
Prepared visuals: Kin Leonn & Raphael Ong
Installation work: Sean Gwee

A re-imagination of nature in hyperreality, merging serene soundscapes with the heightened experience of modern existence. Immerse yourself in an evening with ambient producer Kin Leonn as he breathes life into his latest album 'mirror in the gleam' through a live audiovisual performance at T:>Works’ 72-13 for the first time in Singapore. With visuals curated by Kin Leonn and Raphael, plus art installation by Sean Gwee, prepare to be enchanted as Kin Leonn showcases 'mirror in the gleam' alongside tracks from his debut album ‘Commune’, unreleased live reworks and ambient driftings.

Hailed as Singapore's 'ambient boy', Kin Leonn deftly built a sound world that deviates from the tranquil vistas of Brian Eno's 'Music for Airports.' Rather than adhering to conventional ambient paradigms, Leonn intricately encapsulates his own distinctive essence, serving as a resonant voice for the evolving artistic narratives of Singaporean youth.

Skillfully extracting richness from diverse source materials — ranging from field recordings to synths and sequencers — ‘mirror in the gleam' attests to Kin Leonn's innate ability to strike a harmonious balance between ambient, electronic synthesis, and contemporary piano pieces. The seamless fusion invites comparisons to the pioneering work of Ryuichi Sakamoto, with music critic Shawn Reynaldo characterizing it as "a woozy gem that sounds like something Ryuichi Sakamoto might have come up with if he’d been tapped for the Lost in Translation soundtrack.”

Reflecting on his journey through the creation of 'mirror in the gleam', Kin Leonn has ventured into collaborations, including a remix for Moderat alongside yeule, and extensive co-production work on yeule's 'softcars' album. Transitioning into the realm of film scoring, he achieved a milestone as the composer for acclaimed Singaporean director Anthony Chen’s 'The Breaking Ice' showcased at the Cannes Film Festival, earning accolades from Indiewire for his "lovely twinkling” contribution to the soundtrack.

Following the release of his album 'mirror in the gleam' via KITCHEN. LABEL in October 2023, Kin Leonn had a successful release tour in Japan, performed at AMBIENT KYOTO, and graced the stages of Wonderfruit Festival in Thailand, in addition to opening for Explosions in the Sky in his home country of Singapore.

Tobias Wilden『A Path to Open Air II』

▶ Pre-order the album on LP or CD + watch & stream the first single『Beneath the Stones』: https://lnk.to/apathtoopenair2

Introducing ‘A Path to Open Air II,’ the evolution of Tobias Wilden’s 2013 album, ‘A Path to Open Air.’ This latest offering continues the introspective journey initiated by its predecessor, delving even deeper into Wilden’s perception of nature and music. Through meticulously crafted compositions, Wilden conveys a profound connection to the environment, capturing the yearning for tranquility found in remote locales and the ambiance far removed from urban confines through atmospheric acoustic soundscapes.

Inspired by nature and landscapes, Wilden masterfully weaves together complex ideas and emotions. His pastoral ambient instrumentals gently unfold, employing acoustic/classical elements, from guitar, cello, double-bass, to even the Japanese traditional instrument Sanshin to create impressionistic musical sketches. Wilden seamlessly integrates orchestral and electronic elements to enrich his melodic storytelling. His intricate technicality is balanced by a delicate demeanor, effortlessly oscillating between melodic allure and dissonant intrigue, engaging listeners with contemplation and depth.

As the album unfolds, “A Path to Open Air II” emerges not merely as a collection of songs. Through Wilden’s use of tone and texture, he invites listeners to explore the quiet, resonating moods that lie beneath the surface of sound.

⏪ 2023 REWIND

A re-imagination of pastoralism in hyperreality, blending idyllic landscapes with the heightened experience of modern existence, Kin Leonn showcased his prowess as an ambient producer with the release of his second solo opus, ‘mirror in the gleam,’ on October 27.

Kin Leonn deftly constructed a sound world that tangentially deviates from the tranquil vistas of Japanese ambient music and the domains of Brian Eno’s ‘Music for Airports.’ Instead, he intricately encapsulates his own distinctive emotional essence, becoming a resonant voice that reflects the evolving artistic narratives of Singaporean youth. The harmonious balance between ambient, electronic synthesis, and contemporary piano pieces invites comparisons to the pioneering work of Ryuichi Sakamoto, with journalist Shawn Reynaldo characterizing it as ‘a woozy gem that sounds like something Ryuichi Sakamoto might have come up with if he’d been tapped for the Lost in Translation soundtrack.’

In the realm of film scoring, he reached a milestone as the composer for ‘The Breaking Ice’ at the Cannes Film Festival, drawing praises with IndieWire describing it as a “lovely twinkling” presence on the soundtrack.

Post-release, Kin Leonn embarked on a Japan tour and graced the Wonderfruit Music Festival in Thailand. The vinyl edition for ‘mirror in the gleam’ is set for the end of January 2024, promising additional shows in the pipeline.

⏪ 2023 REWIND

Spirituality, ecology, and nature seamlessly intertwine to shape the thematic core of ‘himorogi,’ ironomi's 10th album that was released on 24 Feb, 2023. The enduring bond with Mother Earth and the dynamic palette of its seasons have been a consistent wellspring of inspiration for ironomi’s creative endeavors. A noteworthy evolution in this significant album is the inclusion of the 17-string koto (jūshichi-gensō) played by Yu Isobe, complemented by Junye Yanagidaira on the piano.

Across the trajectory of their 10-album journey, ironomi remains unwaveringly true to their conceptual origins, marked by a resolute dedication to minimalism and serenity. The duo consciously immerses themselves in a state resembling meditative surrender, allowing a seamless merging with the environment and fostering a dream-like ambiance where musical imagination flows freely. Amidst this extensive discography, ironomi remains grounded in the authenticity of their craft, where they continue to invite the audience to share in the tranquil beauty of their expressions and the deep harmony they find within.

The 5th album『Kofū III / 古風 III』
Meitei / 冥丁

Meitei / 冥丁 unveils the final third chapter of his transformative Kofū trilogy that began in 2020, unraveling an introspective exploration of the artist's psyche while delving deep into the essence of Japanese culture. ‘Kofū III’ invites listeners into the innermost sanctums of Meitei's existence — a passage filled with serenity, self-discovery, and the triumphant conquest of personal demons.

Meitei's move from Kyoto to tranquil Onomichi in Hiroshima marked a profound shift in his life. 'Kofü Ill' is a window into Meitei's mind, reflecting on Japan's mental landscape during his return to his hometown. It's a testament to his evolution, from an initial inner quest to deep healing.

'Kofü III' is a meditation on the intangible threads that bind us to our past - a portal to Japan's veiled history, capturing the essence of Japan's elusive spirit through the enigmatic landscapes of Meitei's inner terrains.

🪨 NEW ALBUM - OUT DEC 1 🪨

Serving as the conclusive chapter in the Kofū trilogy, Kofū III offers a glimpse into Meitei / 冥丁’s introspection on ‘the end of the Japanese mental landscape.’ The alchemy of experimental ambience unfolds as Meitei weaves his Japanese identity with the nuanced musicality of sampling. Within this realm, tearful and peculiar melodies are enshrouded in the crackling embrace of static and synthesis, guided by the rhythmic cadence of R&B/hip-hop-infused lo-fi pulses.

Set for release on December 1, the album will be available via KITCHEN. LABEL on LP, CD, and all major digital platforms

✦ ✦ NEW RELEASE - OUT 1 DEC ✦ ✦

The 5th album『Kofū III / 古風 III』
Meitei / 冥丁

Meitei unveils the final third chapter of his transformative Kofū trilogy that began in 2020, unraveling an introspective exploration of the artist's psyche while delving deep into the essence of Japanese culture. ‘Kofū III’ invites listeners into the innermost sanctums of Meitei's existence — a passage filled with serenity, self-discovery, and the triumphant conquest of personal demons.

Meitei's move from Kyoto to tranquil Onomichi in Hiroshima marked a profound shift in his life. 'Kofü Ill' is a window into Meitei's mind, reflecting on Japan's mental landscape during his return to his hometown. It's a testament to his evolution, from an initial inner quest to deep healing.

'Kofü III' is a meditation on the intangible threads that bind us to our past - a portal to Japan's veiled history, capturing the essence of Japan's elusive spirit through the enigmatic landscapes of Meitei's inner terrains.
