絹雲 Cirrus by Shuta Hiraki

"Sounds drifting or hiding in the area in which I live. A vacant lot, a port at midnight, broken furniture, childhood toys, voices of machines. Overlooked, abandoned and malfunctioning sounds. Sometimes I record them, sometimes I miss them. 2014-2018, Nagasaki, Japan."

Shuta Hiraki, a Japanese electronic musician who was born in 1990 and lives in Nagasaki, Japan, has publicized his own works under the pseudonym obalto since 2014. Influenced by drone-based ambient music in the latter half of the 2000s, he started to create ambient/drone music himself centering on various field recordings and processed sounds.

A home for non-linear music, deep mapping, and the long now.

Presence of places and beings.

Field recording and experimental music label curated by Ludwig Berger, graphic design by Nicolas Turki Duchesnay.
