Japanese beatmaker, producer and composer Fumitake Tamura is gearing up to release his new album Mijin. Arriving on April 10th through Leaving Records, Mijin is a collection of mesmerizing environmental music and beats, that takes inspiration from the natural world and humanism. Tamura shared some insight into the record:

“The title Mijin comes from a Japanese word meaning very fine particles. The album gathers particle-like sounds and lets them resonate in space. As I watch the movements that arise between them a balance gradually takes shape. Within those relationships and the quiet tension between them I explored how silence can resonate with sound.

The album begins with the most minimal piano chords then develops by reconstructing fragments of voice and percussion, Rhodes and synths along with traces of jazz and soul. Each sound exists like a particle drifting in air gently resonating with the others to form the structure.

I hope that the spaces and silences created by this placement will appear with a presence equal to the sounds themselves.”

Ahead of the album’s release, Tamura has shared the beautiful and alluring ‘Ostinato’, featuring multi-instrumentalist and producer Sam Gendel. Take a listen below.
