My senior year of high school was pretty rough. I'd listen to this every day during my morning commute on the bus and just look out the window. It really brought me peace when I felt like everything and everyone was fading away. It made me feel lonely, but the album gave me a stoic freedom with my loneliness. Very reflective

Interesting comment Owen. 'Stoic freedom' I like it. I've often clicked on songs (or albums) that makes me fell melancholy, because of a combination of nostalgia or perhaps being reminded of a period of my life that was blue/dark but I was able to escaped from via the very tune I am listening to yet again. I always looking for an explanation for being drawn to going back. Doesn't bother me much, but it's an eerie feeling.

I've had this exact same experience with another album. Hold your Colour by Pendulum, especially the track Still Grey at the end had such alien, lonely, yet calming sounds that I found myself listening to it nearly every day when I was in high school. It suited the dreary, dark 5:30am-ish mood well and gave me a reprieve from other people.

Hiroshi Yoshimura was a Japanese composer and sound designer. He is considered a pioneer in ambient, environmental, and new age music. Born in Yokohama in 1940, he studied music as a child -- beginning piano studies at age five during the final year of the Second World War. He fell under the influence of various sound artists during the late '50s, including composers Toru Takemitsu and John Cage. In 1964 he graduated from Waseda School of Letters, Arts and Sciences II under the creative spell of the Fluxus movement and the work of Harry Partch and Erik Satie. Yoshimura worked on integrating environmental music that combined graphic and sound design. He performed visual poetry, and worked on sound design construction for TOA, the storied Japanese manufacturer of amplifiers, signal processors, mixers, microphones, and speakers while working on his own art in his spare time. In 1972 he started the computer music group Anonyme. He fell under the spell of Brian Eno's ambient music during the 1970s, because it mirrored his own core sonic and atmospheric discoveries. His iconic debut album, Music for Nine Postcards, was released in 1982 on Sound Process. It was originally recorded at home on Fender Rhodes and an analog synthesizer as a demo to be played in the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art. Produced by Satoshi Ashikawa, it was later subtitled Wave Notations 1 and released as the first of the historic but short-lived series -- the producer's Still Way (Wave Notation 2) was the other one. Yoshimura composed and designed sound for several independent cinema projects as well. Pier & Loft, released on Fukusei Gijutsu Kohboh in 1983, offered more contrasting sounds from experimental classical, ambient, and new age music. Arriving in 1984, A-I-R (Air In Resort) worked across both minimalist and new age genres, before Yoshimura gave way to the latter with Green in 1986. Later the same year he released Soundscape 1: Surround, a work of complete but gentle abstraction and precise sonic design. Yoshimura shifted to new classical music for 1988's Static, with assistance from pianist Satuki Shibano. During his recording career, the composer joined the the engineering faculty at Chiba University, and also taught part-time in the industrial design department. He also served as an adjunct professor at Kunitachi College of Music Design. His focus was universal access to sound design; he convinced the school to sponsor public participation in workshops and sonic experiments at museums and galleries nationally. He would often use his students in his performances. He resumed recording with 1993's Wet Land, which walked the line between ambient, classical, and new age musics. A year later he released Face Music, an album commissioned by Shu Uemura Make Up School that mixed his own modern classical compositions in seamless beat-driven juxtaposition with works by Vivaldi, Scarlatti, and Caccini. Yoshimura had become fascinated by global club culture, especially the downtempo music created for chillout rooms. Arriving in 1998, Quiet Forest, the final album released during his lifetime, employed everything from field recordings of nature and city streets to downtempo beats, ambient soundscapes, left-field abstraction, and classical schemas. Yoshimura continued to teach and accept commissions, making environmental music for runway shows, train stations, and prefab houses. He was diagnosed with skin cancer in 1999 and battled with the disease until it claimed his life in 2003. He continued working until the very end. Four Postcards, recorded during the final year of his life, was issued by Nuvola. In 2005, the label issued Soft Wave for Automatic Music Box, comprising three late but completed long-form works. In 2006, Prem Promotion issued Flora - 1987, a complete album recorded between Green and Static but unreleased at the time. Music for Nine Postcards was reissued in North America for the first time as the debut release by Empire of Signs, a label run by Spencer Doran of Visible Cloaks and Maxwell August Croy of the Root Strata label. They worked with Yoshimura's widow, Yoko Yoshimura, on the reissue; it featured reproductions of the original art and liner notes, as well as new writings from the producers and Ms. Yoshimura. Distributed by Light in the Attic, the album was marketed as a stand-alone or bundled with a reissue of Pier & Loft. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Found this description on spotify

I feel a certain connectedness that’s hard for me to describe. Comments like my own have also helped me feel certain powerful and beautiful things in my past, so I was hoping in a way I could do that for someone else, and I like to think I did. I’m sorry you got so enraged by my comment. Just scroll by or leave a dislike if you disagree with it; no need to leave hateful comments on posts you were never obligated to read anyway. Your time alive is way more valuable than being used making other peoples’ lives intentionally harder. Ironically, the best part is that we could have never talked, or met, or knew the other existed in any capacity, save for a statistic like a worldwide population number if we hadn’t had this interaction online through this comments section. That’s part of why the internet is so cool. It’s okay if you forget about me or whatever, it’s probably natural. But this moment still happened, and for a brief while, we got to connect in some way. Whatever that way might be, even if not so pretty lol. Couldn’t have happened without the internet.

Wet Land is like waking up on a cold winter morning. You're ten years old, hungry, and your mouth still feels clean from brushing your teeth last night. No one else is awake, so you walk quietly to the bathroom. Once you're done you return to your bed, buried beneath the covers as you grab your 3ds and load up Animal Crossing: New Leaf. You can smell the clean linen sheets beneath you. Everything is calm.

It's just a cloudy morning, yet the light emitting across the room is blinding as the white curtains reflect it more. It's weird, the curtains usually sway and float, yet it's completely still, it barely breathes as it does. There's life outside, birds and insects making arbitrary sounds that sync for no one, but the it's natural calling.I am here, as I leave a trace. I am here, and there is life just in reach. With the songs that comfort me to serenity and then peace, just for a little while.

This street is a busy avenue. I would sit there with my palms holding my head high, gazing at the beauty of nature and city intertwined... during rainy days and nights...when the passing of traffic mimmicked the sounds of beach waves.... and the traffic lights reflected themselves upon the wet asphalt, which caused an array of lights throughout the entire avenue. I observed this from my high palace. Its a low income housing in bronx, ny. This sight caused a melody in my heart, and i laid down to look up at the ceiling in darkness as I reflected on the forthcoming days...how would i make a living in this big world?

Hiroshi Yoshimura was my companion when I got kicked off the world team for my sport and I was lost in the world. His calm reverence brought me profound peace and acceptance in the worst of times.

Sleeping In The Forest by Mary Oliver I thought the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds. I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed, nothing between me and the white fire of the stars but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths among the branches of the perfect trees. All night I heard the small kingdoms breathing around me, the insects, and the birds who do their work in the darkness. All night I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling with a luminous doom. By morning I had vanished at least a dozen times into something better.

This is my favorite album ever. I can't explain why, but it goes beyond relaxing. I feel it reminds me of something I miss, long forgotten, something I yearn for. Hiroshi Yoshimura managed to impact me, even after so many years...

ive had a really hard time this year, alot of things are happening. i've moved schools, i miss my friends. they are the only people who understand what it is like to be me. and i've been stuck with so many nights where i can't imagine myself feeling any better. i would get used to waking up in the morning, existing, going home, crying, crying again, then sleeping. and i haven't really been able to break this pattern for 7 months. but, i found this a couple weeks ago, maybe 2. and i've been using it alot, i listen to it every day, every minute, every hour, before i sleep, after i wake up. i've used this album as my little soundtrack, something to play in my head, and it feels good. i've spent so many days this year working this facade i couldn't break, it was something i couldn't escape. but i feel so weightless now, i feel cotton rubbing on my cheeks and silk brushing my skin. i feel so secure and safe and so free. everything this album has done to me in 2 weeks is better than anything in a year. especially the second track, it helps me fall asleep, and it helps me cry, and it helps me smile. it brings everything i missed about myself, everything i had forgotten mattered to me and kindly gently places a soft blanket over me. like, i'm a child whose fallen asleep on the living room couch and now my mum has placed a blanket over my body. it whispers and speaks and it brings my eyes from the mess my room is to the sky outside my room, and instead of shutting myself in, i open those blinds, and i open those windows. i'm still healing, i'm still letting go, i'm still trying to fit into that crowd. and i think, as long as i keep on listening to this, that crowd will start to love me. so that i can start to love that crowd, and we can hug, and talk. and then that feeling of the fresh smell of flowers, stomach aches from laughing and messy hair can finally come back to me again.

Music is really a wonderful thing, music is also a wonderful existence, if the human world without music, the world will become very boring, it can be commercialized, it can also make people communicate without obstacles, it can also make people degenerate, but it can also make people improve their。 spirituality, in short, a thing will always have its advantages and disadvantages.
