The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Tokio Ono - Individuals (Not Not Fun)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

If it's all getting a bit too much then do a sickie and let Tokio Ono take you on a tour around the serene Not Not Fun ashram, where peace, love and microdosed smiles are the social norm and the air is filled with the sounds of nature weaving through the radiant, gently rhythmic New Age music.

What The Release Notes Say

Yokohama multi-instrumentalist Tokio Ono’s debut is a collection of 13 confinement compositions woven from field recordings, percussion, various keys, samples, and a sense of being "far away." He characterizes it as a type of “island music” – isolated, introspective, fueled by distant dreams of “the space between.” Like some surrogate 4th world travel brochure, Individuals spans a 50-minute map of emerald atolls, shimmering bays, and overcast coasts, equal parts idyllic and uneasy. Minimalist rhythms shuffle, slouch, and spiral through tropical temples and whispering villages, drawn to innerspace horizons forever unfolding and indivisible: “Differences don’t separate, but bound all things and people in one individuality.”
