Description:
"It's a hybrid of ambient and Z-ambient." TOWATEI releases his 14th solo album, "ZAMBIENT." TOWATEI, a musician who debuted in 1990 as a member of DEEE-LITE and continues to be active across a wide range of genres, is releasing his 14th solo album, “ZAMBIENT,” just one year after his previous album, “AH!!.” On the track “NOTHINGELSE2,” he features Bose from Schadaraparr on rap, reconstructing an existing song from a different angle. Furthermore, the yet-to-be-revealed cover art strongly reflects TOWATEI’s unique aesthetic sensibility, so please look forward to it. [Comment from TOWATEI] It’s “ZAMBIENT”—a hybrid of ambient styles. —TOWATEI [Comment from Ryohei Matsunaga] It’s been just over a year since his previous album, *AH!!*. Already, TOWATEI’s new album is set to be released. Its title is *ZAMBIENT*. The previous album, *AH!!*, was a celebration of his 60th birthday—a full circle of life represented by the letter “A.” This time, it’s a reverse stream, moving from “Z” back to “A.” This self-proclaimed “hybrid ambient” music floats at the boundary between sound and atmosphere, bringing together dance and the exotic, the ideal and the real, pleasure and hardship, deep sleep and wakefulness, humanity and AI, heaven and hell—this, that, the other, and everything in between. The question isn’t “Will humans or AI create the music of the future?” Rather, for TOWATEI, was AI simply a new tool—like a new instrument—to be discovered together? As you surrender yourself to the unknown inner hot spring brought about by this blend of sounds, don’t forget to give this reality a thumbs-down with a “HEY!” This tangled “Zambient” music will surely become a signpost that reveals the future. —Ryohei Matsunaga (Rhythm & Pencil)
