ι³ζ₯½: ONGAKU by cmk
ONGAKU ("music") is a found-sound audio collage of a journey to japan in october of 2024.
some of it is calm, some of it is chaos.
like japan.
i've always thought of ambient music as a human attempt at recreating the sonic randomness of the world around us. from the chaos of a busy street to the calm of a running stream. during my last visit to japan, i could hear the music.
this is a bit of the ambient world i heard, spliced and very mildly spiced.
it's mostly for nostalgic relaxing, but like i said... some of it is chaos.
best listened to in good headphones, with no distractions.
enjoy.
a gift for, brit, the love of my life.
and dedicated to our hosts.
