This album consists of two sound files created by Masanori Nozawa to ease the anxieties of Tokyo-based pixel artist Hermippe about the change of environment when he moves to a new environment. They are intended to calm, enrich, and soothe the mind.
The first track, "あわい (edit)" is an image of sinking into the space between the movement of dwelling places and the proximity of life and nature.
The second track, "くおん" was created with the idea of existing in a constantly changing environment, and how our lives continue to change and bewilder us, yet our lives continue on.
This is exactly what I have been waiting for, so happy this is here. It's the kind of music that soothes the soul and helps one to reflect. I love Hiroshi. John Richey

DC experimental duo Requiem and UK cellist Simon McCorry make ambient psychedelia together that traffics in subtlety rather than bombast. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 27, 2021
Kaito did it again; another masterful creation. It sounds exactly what a really nice summer would feel like, personally something that has been long gone years ago. While I wrote this I didn't saw Kaito's intent regarding nostalgia and a distant summer, but this is EXACTLY what it feels like. Kaito, I love your work. Everyone should give this great album a chance and indulge in their own perfect nostalgia. smonster
