Dreamy electronic ambient/chillout from Japanese producer and filmmaker Noriaki Okamoto. He formerly released work under his Okamotonoriaki project—this most recent album represents a departure from his past work as a Tokyo-based artist and marks a move to a quieter life in the countryside. Nine tracks of beautiful and intimate electronic music with occasional Japanese vocal snippets. Most tracks are slow but with a sustained epicness.
