Description:

A future ambient masterpiece that combines elements of traditional acoustic music with rich and immersive interpretations of ambient to explore the imaginative and ideal "personal folk music" with Gigi Masin and Young Marco. This is the sixth album and Japanese debut of Jonny Nash, who also performs as the ambient group Gaussian Curve and is the founder of Melody As Truth, a label that continues to release quality albums. Point of Entry" This album builds on the folk tradition Nash has been working on in recent years ("Poe" with Teguh Permana in 2020 and "A Heart So White" with Suzanne Kraft in 2021), but also represents a clear musical evolution.In eleven captivating tracks, Nash turns his compass gently inward, eschewing conceptual frameworks and combining elements of traditional acoustic music with the rich, immersive interpretations of ambient he has been developing for over a decade to explore an imaginative and idealized form of " The album is an exploration of imaginative and ideal "personal folk music. The album is produced using a stream-of-consciousness approach to composition and recording, and Nash often uses his preferred instrument of choice, the guitar, with its atmospheric effects, as a starting point. Throughout, his subtle, evocative playing takes center stage, melodic lines and fingerpicked refrains drawing aural images that resonate with a positive yet contemplative energy. From the oozing acid-folk bliss of "Theories" and "Eternal Life" to the layered acoustic guitars of "All I Ever Needed" and the delayed, Durutti Column-esque "Light From Three Sides," the album is a collection of songs that are as diverse in texture as they are in sound. Throughout the album, a variety of musical textures are woven into the fabric.Point of Entry is more than just a "guitar album" and employs a rich and varied palette to achieve that goal. On "Ditto" and "Light From Three Sides," contemporary ambient jazz wunderkind Joseph Shabason's delicate sax swells. The dancing synth sequences of "Ditto" and "Golden Hour" echo Nash's work with Gigi Masin and Young Marco on Gaussian Curve. Nash's reverb-laden voice also makes its first appearance since 2016's critically acclaimed Exit Strategies, and is used delicately throughout the album, evoking a world of golden light at sunset. Combining the delicate humanity and simplicity of early Melody As Truth with a broader scope and vision, Point Of Entry is arguably Nash's most accomplished work to date, a future ambient masterpiece as well as a statement of his "personal It is not only a masterpiece of future ambient, but also a statement of his "personal folk" vision.
