WRWTFWW Records announce the reissue of
Satoshi Ashikawa
's
Still Way (Wave Notation 2)
. Initially released in 1982 as part of the
Wave Notation
series (which includes
Hiroshi Yoshimura
's
Music For Nine Postcards
),
Still Way
is, without a doubt, a seminal Japanese environmental/ambient/minimalism album, often mentioned alongside
Midori Takada
's
Through The Looking Glass
(1983) (WRWTFWW 018LP, WRWTFWW 019CD/LP) and Hiroshi Yoshimura's
Green
(1986) as one of the genre's most important pieces. "
Like the moment of stillness, after the wind passes through the garden, when the rain stops for a brief second...
" Notably inspired by
Erik Satie
's
Furniture Music
and
Brian Eno
's ambient work, Satoshi Ashikawa aimed to compose music "intended to be listened to in a casual manner, as a musical landscape or a sound object -- not something that would stimulate listeners but music that should drift like smoke and become part of the environment." The result is simply phenomenal, subtle minimalism and emotional elegance exquisitely orchestrated by Satoshi Ishikawa and his team consisting of his wife
Masami Ashikawa
(on flute), Midori Takada (on vibraphone),
Yuko Utsumi
(on harp),
Tomoko Sono
(on piano), and
Junko Arase
(on vibraphone). In conjunction with
Still Way
, WRWTFWW Records is releasing
Laistigh den Ghleo
(WRWTFWW 039CD/LP), a companion album by Irish ambient/minimalist composer
Gareth Quinn Redmond
, inspired by Ashikawa's approach. Liner notes by Midori Takada, Satoshi Ashikawa, and Gareth Quinn Redmond. CD version includes a bonus track.
