I’ve listened to a lot of Post-Rock, Shoegaze, and Emo over the years, but lately I’ve started to feel that the music I make sounds more like ambient folk.

I’d really appreciate any feedback or thoughts you might have.

Recorded on a 26-Year-Old Boss BR-8 (Ambient / Dream Pop / Shoegaze)

I recently returned to making music after a 15-year break, recording with my 26-year-old Boss BR-8 MTR.

I finished an album this July, and it’s now available on streaming services.

I embraced the imperfections and poured the emotions and everyday moments of the past year into these songs.

If even one track stays with you after listening, that would mean a lot to me.

Thank you from Japan.

Layers of Self-Resuscitation – PostWater

I released this album on July 3.

Every track was recorded on a BOSS BR-8 Digital Recording Studio, an old 8-track MTR that records to ZIP disks. I’ve been creating music with this recorder for 26 years, and this album may be one of the last full projects I make with it.

The music is influenced by dream pop, shoegaze, post-rock, and slowcore, mixed with lo-fi home recording and ambient textures.

If you’re into that kind of sound, I’d be really happy if you gave it a listen.

Thanks for checking it out, and greetings from Japan.

I started making music again after a 15-year break | PostWater – Haze#1

I started making music again this year after a 15-year break, recording with an old BOSS BR-8 MTR.
This is one of the first songs from that journey back into making music.
I’d love to hear what you think.
Thanks from Japan.
