Influenced by Brian Eno’s ambient music and Erik Satie’s “music for furniture,” this unique Japanese musical culture of the 1980s evolved in tandem with architectural acoustics and soundscapes. The collection also includes music that permeated everyday spaces, such as the in-store music at MUJI, a promotional LP for Sanyo Electric’s air conditioners, and Seiko watch commercials. These works represent an era symbolized by “Saison Culture”—music for the environment that emerged through intersections with the corporate culture, architecture, and lifestyles of the bubble economy. This 3-LP set features meticulous curation and liner notes by Spencer Doran of VisibleCloaks, along with artist biographies. The cover photograph by Osamu Murai, depicting buildings designed by architect Fumihiko Maki, is stunning, visually illustrating the relationship between music, architecture, and space.\n\n(From the manufacturer’s information)\n\n*Please note that as this is a limited edition, we may have to cancel your pre-order.
