Erased Tapes Records / UK / RE 2018
Stories by Masayoshi is an evocative, ambient album that paints scenes of natural beauty and poetic emotion through luxurious melodies and electronic flourishes. Centered around the vibraphone—a traditionally background instrument—Masayoshi showcases its potential as a lead voice. With a drummer's background, he experiments by preparing the vibraphone with foil, beads, and cello bows to create rich, textured sounds. This innovative approach sets him apart in the modern ambient and compositional landscape, as he continues his mission to spotlight the vibraphone’s expressive possibilities.
