Pjusk & Chihei Hatakeyama - Svaberg (2022)

Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik aka Pjusk comes from Norway and creates some perfectly moody soundscapes. Especially when he can enjoy the cooperation with the iconic Chihei Hatakeyama as it is on their album called Svaberg.

Their music feels both warm and very dark. No wonder that half of the track titles contain the word "mørke" which translates from Norwegian to "dark". The soundscapes are dense and overwhelming, but also very warm and welcoming. It is not the unnerving dark ambient industrial music; the focus is set on beauty and the ability to spark a self-reflective moment in the listeners. The good news for the fans is that Gjelsvik already announced that there's more material coming from the duo.

Svaberg costs 5 USD.

Chihei Hatakeyama - Maybe (2017) EN

Chihei Hatakeyama, artist of ambient music from Tokyo, has just released another extremely moody and extremely experimental album. With music like this people tend to call his works an example of post-ambient.

The official story says that he got inspiration to write "Maybe" while having a walk on an old battlefield place called Sekigahara during a rainy day. The melancholy of this music made him decide to translate this feelings into ambient tones. In the end we got a symphony played with almost impossibly slowed down sounds of synthesizer and electric guitar. The effect is an hour of painful beauty.

"Maybe" costs 12 USD.

Chihei Hatakeyama - Maybe (2017) PL

Chihei Hatakeyama, artysta ambientu z Tokyo wydał właśnie kolejny niezwykle nastrojowy i niezwykle eksperymentalny album, dzięki takim jak ten jego muzyka nazywana jest nawet post-ambientem.

Oficjalna wersja mówi, że wpadł na pomysł "Maybe" przechadzając się po parku pamięci Sekigahara w czasie deszczowego dnia. Melancholia tego miejsca i pogody sprawiła, że postanowił przelać te uczucie na ambientowe nuty. Wyszła z tego długa symfonia zagrana na spowolnione do granic możliwości dźwięki syntezatora i gitary elektrycznej. W efekcie otrzymaliśmy godzinę bolesnego piękna.

"Maybe" kosztuje 44 złote (12 USD).
