Six beautiful arrangements, saturated with field recordings and blissful ambience. “The field recordings for this album were especially intense. Captured during the winter months, there were many days when the temperature was higher than average with strong winds. Initially disappointed with too much wind noise, I discovered and was quite surprised with the results of these captured field recordings. The collection of field recordings became the foundation of these arrangements and consequently became the all encompassing title of these compositions, "Wind Colors".” —H. Imashige

Regarding the design, 扎克 states, “The album artwork & design aesthetics are not what you’d expect from an ambient album. It really came to fruition after multiple listens of these gorgeous arrangements. ‘Wind Colors’ is a testament and a soundtrack to a life once lived for me. It is a very nostalgic-inducing record. It inspired me to design closely to an old blank duplicate-ready VHS tape from the early 90’s. The music makes me think of old recorded tapes of family and friends enjoying themselves: smiling, laughing, and being carefree; a time once lived where it was light, optimistic and everyone had a sense of naivety about the world. It is direct reflection of Hidekazu’s arrangements on Wind Colors.”

All tracks were written, mixed, and mastered by Hidekazu Imashige. Limited to 200 units. The album is currently being manufactured and information concerning pre-order and release dates will be announced soon.

New PITP Exclusive: 'Under the Morning Mist | In This Perfect Dream' by Gallery Six

Gallery Six - Under the Morning Mist | In This Perfect Dream
PITP MMXIX Digital Series [PURCHASE]
01/25/2019

Past Inside the Present is pleased to present two exclusive, previously unreleased tracks by Gallery Six, 'Under the Morning Mist & In This Perfect Dream'.

"In this decade, I visited many places in order to record organic sounds such as, rare bird voices and sounds of waves (I live in the basin area far from sea). There is a river near my house and I often visit there to record, or merely walk. When I recorded in the early morning hours at that riverside for ‘Under the Morning Mist’, the body of water was beautifully wrapped with a dense mist. A gorgeous backdrop and inspiration for this arrangement. 

A park located in the city where I reside, was the inspiration for the arrangement, 'In This Perfect Dream'. The captured sounds of trees, leaves, and the winds.. All beautiful sounds around me that we typically take for granted. I got lost in time, it felt like a perfect dream, hence the title of this arrangement."

'The Red Bridge Over the Valley' by Gallery Six

1/8/2019

 
Past Inside the Present - Ambient Music Label and Blog / Gallery Six The Red Bridge Over the Valley
'The Red Bridge Over the Valley' is the second release in 2019 for Gallery Six. Hidekazu Imashige is certainly off to a strong start for this year and this latest effort is a stunning example of gorgeous soundscapes and ambient bliss.

'The Red Bridge Over the Valley' was released by our friends, Stereoscenic Records [SCENE-27].

Hidekazu Imashige description of his latest effort:

"This “Red Bridge” is located in Taisyakukyo valley (帝釈峡), northern Hiroshima, Japan. It is known as a scenic spot. I love this place and often visit because it has many colors and smells, and they make me feel calm. It has water, mountain, blue sky... What else do you need?

This album was inspired by my experience when I visited there last Spring. I hope you can feel earthy smell, color of water, clear sky of blue of this scenery through this album."
