ライブに参加するため訪れた東京のとある街で、私は終電を逃し帰れなくなり、冬だったが始発まで待機せざるを得なくなった。屋外の喫煙所でタバコを吸いながら、朝までの6時間、暇を持て余した。持っていたスマートフォンでそのときに録音した夜の街の環境音をこの曲では用いている。あの夜の酷い寒さ、そして街の灯りのことは今でも鮮明に覚えている。

While visiting a certain city in Tokyo to attend a live performance, I missed the last train home and was forced to wait until the first train, even though it was winter. I wasted six hours until morning, smoking a cigarette in an outdoor smoking area. I recorded the ambient sounds of the city at night on my smartphone and used them in this song. I still vividly remember the bitter cold that night and the city’s lights.

Koya, by nzworkdown (時の崖_tokinogake)
https://tokinogake.bandcamp.com/album/koya

私の強い執着の一つに見捨てられた小屋というものがあり、2年前から、もはや崩れかけ自然と同化したほったて小屋のような音楽を作りたいと考え続けている。このリリースはそうした私のこだわりの一つの結果である。

I have been thinking about this for the past two years and want to make music like an abandoned hut collapsing and assimilating with nature. This release is the result of one such obsession of mine.

マスタリングを手掛けてくれたartiom_constantinov、カバーアートワークを提供してくれた湯川静さん、そして時の崖スタッフの皆さんに心から感謝します。

Thank you to artiom_constantinov for mastering, Yu Kawa Shizuka for providing the cover artwork, and the tokinogake staff.

https://prehistoricsilence.bandcamp.com/album/water-state

There is something unfathomably tactile in nzworkdown’s opus. Water State makes no exception, delivering a quasi-synesthetic experience of H2O shifting from one phase to the other.

The American-born, Japan-based sound artist creates an intimate ambience, befogging you with an aerosol-like texture, leaving you to feel your own way amidst liquefied field recordings, synthetic swirls and all sorts of damp sounds and icy cracks.

Air, Ice, Vapor and Water coexist in an ever-morphing equilibrium: now cosy, sometimes unsettling, always intoxicatingly immersive.

Untitled IV, by nzworkdown (Forgot Imprint)
https://forgotimprint.bandcamp.com/album/untitled-iv

‘Japanese artist nzworkdown has made an impressive variety of sounds the last few months, he coalesces between beautiful ambient techno to jarring slices of noise and field recorded sounds; the drop of water, a stream running down a mountain, rain flowing in a sewer line.
A constant flux of beauty and mono no aware aesthetics.

Untitled IV is a collection of sound collage showing the juxtaposition between stillness and macabre.

Out 10/22 digitally on all platforms.’
