Surround was commissioned by Misawa Homes Institute of Research and Development as a set of soundscapes for the company’s prefabricated houses, I didn't know this before stumbling into this album but in retrospect it makes a lot of sense.

Yoshimura approaches the task with a very delicate touch and you can easily get lost between the tracks of this album for hours.

I am in love with the sounds used throughout, a blend of the organic and synthetic with a soft, tender quality.

one of my favorite ambient records of the last few years, very inspired work, organic textures from saxophone, harmonium and sitar mixed perfectly with deep synth tones and soundscapes. Haunting, melancholic compositions that would make a perfect soundtrack for a Tarkovsky film.

Davachi and Kalma are from different generations and backgrounds and found themselves perfectly half way to record this in a single day, the vibes are immaculate but I wish they had recorded and worked together more!
