Description:

The latest album "Nosthaigia" by beatmaker Onra, his first in 6 years, is now available! A collection of green beats using various genres of sound sources collected after several years of residence in Thailand! *This title is a "CD". The origins of "Nosthaigia" are as fascinating as its music: Onra spent several years in Thailand, immersing himself in the vibrant culture and scouring local record stores for rare sound sources. The result is a collection of Thai songs from a variety of genres, gathered from 7-inch vinyl records. These short compositions serve as time capsules, transporting the listener back to a past time filled with nostalgia and longing; "Nosthaigia," produced on the MPC1000 in 2017 and revisited in 2020, demonstrates the power of chance and artistic evolution. A casual exploration of unfamiliar musical territory evolved into a deeply personal and meaningful project for Onra. In the midst of a series of unfortunate events, he found solace and inspiration in the beats he had previously produced. Each track on "Nosthaigia" is a reflection of his journey, an acoustic expression of longing and introspection; Onra describes the process of creating the album as a liberating release, a means of letting go of old memories and embracing the present.Despite the sad undertones, there is a quiet beauty to "Nosthaigia" that cannot be ignored, and Onra's vintage production skills bring each track to life, adding warmth and depth. From the ethereal melody of "Until The End" to the hypnotic rhythms of "Close Your Eyes And Remember," every moment seems to matter. The decision to "remove all the bangers" from the album speaks volumes about Onra's dedication to artistic integrity and authenticity. Nosthaigia is not about flashy beats and catchy hooks, but about raw emotion and true expression. It evokes that music has the power to heal, lift, and connect us to something greater than ourselves. Ultimately, "Nosthaigia" is more than just an album; it is a testament to the human experience. But it is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, we can find beauty if we are willing to listen.
