Chihei Hatakeyama, known for his beautiful ambient and drone works, joins forces with improvisational musician Ken Ikeda, whose distinctive approach gives the collaboration a unique presence. Recorded over approximately ten years and meticulously edited down to the finest details, the album explores »a mental landscape where distorted dreams and crumbling daily life intersect, where anxiety and darkness seep into the cracks, and faint light flickers within the depths of silence«. Across 16 tracks, imaginative soundscapes unfold like shifting scenes in a film. The sleeve features artwork by visual artist Mika Tamori.
