WHAT WE SAY:

​After my first weekend out of town with friends & away from a computer for longer than I care to remember, this new LP from Precipitation & Mirage Area of ambient environmental music for Japan's 梅レコード puts into music the weird spaced out feeling of contentment & decompression I woke up with this morning better than I could ever express.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

時間は進行が止まらないものである。しかし、人間の心はそうではない。自分の体が時間と共に進んでも、自分の考えや気持ちが化石になったように固まってしまう可能性がある。そのような過程が見えるときもあるが、多くの場合は本人からでも見えないだろう。そして、体の状態、マインドの状態、世界の状態で亀裂が少しずつ開くのだ。気がついていなくても、現実の理解が変わる。現実とはなんなのだろう？時間が経っても思い出が残り、気持ちが目の前の今の現実に存在すると同時に昔の現実にも存在する。 

このような亀裂はどんな影響を与えるのだろう？昔の気持ちが、眩しい光のように、周りの環境を見えなくしてしまう。目の前の評価すべきものがもう理解できなくなる。意欲が散る。前を向いても、先に進めない。 

このような状態から解放されるのは大変なことかもしれない。自覚することも難しい。しかし、目の前の美しいものに集中すれば、世界の愛が戻るのだ。大切な人とつながれば、心も現実に戻ることが出来るのだ。感謝する。春になったら、凍っている川も流れるようになるのだ。自然とのつながりで、人間とのつながりで、自分の今の現実にある居場所が見つかる。そしてまた進めるようになるのだ。 

現在、梅レコードは、日本、東京の Precipitation & Mirage Area のコラボレーションアルバム "夢の通信 DreamCommunication" をリリースする。

Time is something that never stops moving forward. But the same cannot be said of the human heart. Even if one's body moves on, there is the possibility that one's thoughts and feelings have hardened as though they have been fossilized. There are times when we are able to see this process, but often even the person themselves is unaware. Thus, between the body, the mind, and the world, a rift starts to form. Without realizing, one's understanding of reality changes. What even is reality? Even as time passes, one's memories remain, feelings are at hand, and while being in this reality, one is also in the reality of the past. 

What are the effects of this rift? As though by bright light, one is blinded by past feelings. One becomes unable to understand the things that should be appreciated. The will scatters. Even facing forward, one cannot proceed. 

Breaking free from this state may be challenging. Even becoming aware of it is difficult. However, if one concentrates on the beautiful things at hand, one's love for the world will return. Connecting with the important people in one's life, the heart will grasp onto reality. Give thanks. In spring, even a frozen river begins to flow again. Through connections with nature, through connections with human beings, one will find one's own place in the world. Then it will be possible to move forward again. 

Umé Records presents the collaboration album "夢の通信 Dream Communication" by Tokyo's Precipitation & Mirage Area.
