Hiroyuki Onogawa – August In The Water 1.Hiroshi Yoshimura – Singing Stream (Spring Mix).Made from selections off my eponymous Rateyourmusic list: plenty more in this vein over there! Track listing The bright synths of a meditation cassette meet the murky lows and fragile heart of your favorite oddly-sinister children’s VHS. Despite common aims to soothe and uplift, these songs dive into downbeat and/or ambiguous feelings: vulnerable, longing, bittersweet, haunting. My guest mix for I Heart Noise highlights the surprising darker and sadder corners of new age music.
