yanaco "Alone Together" CD
The latest album from electronic musician yanaco, who continues to develop an ongoing ambient/electronic sound with her unique track-making, including songs sampled on Camila Cabello's latest album, is scheduled for release!
Based on the concept of "constructing a new ambient sound that incorporates non-stereotypical, ambivalent styles," this album seeks to further deepen her sound, and features collaborations with a variety of artists, marking Yanaco's first attempt at collaboration! These include "Lone Star," a new encounter between ambient and jazz, with Yusuke Sase, an up-and-coming trumpeter garnering attention both in Japan and overseas; "Pathos," with Seattle-based contemporary musician Ran Park, who creates vast soundscapes against a classical backdrop; and "Nagi," with Josefina Tai, a Buenos Aires-based guzheng player who also created the artwork for this album, weaving a story through original visuals and sounds. Yanaco's unique ambient sound crosses over elements of jazz, contemporary music, classical music, and even club music. Also participating as a mix/mastering engineer is TSUTCHIE, the track maker for the hip-hop unit Shakkazombie, who also produced the soundtrack for the internationally acclaimed anime Samurai Champloo.
