ryohei kurihara – afterimage of words, a place beyond return

ryohei kurihara – afterimage of words, a place beyond return
[mi348]

ryohei kurihara

“afterimage of words, a place beyond return”

ryohei kurihara – afterimage of words, a place beyond return

Another debut in the label’s catalog. Ryohei Kurihara releases his two-track mini EP titled “Afterimage of Words, a Place Beyond Return”, bringing us his ambient drone, echoing traces of his previous works.

The record sounds like sonic shadows that linger in memory, guiding us toward a territory where return is impossible—only slow, radiant contemplation in gentle waves of sound.

It offers nearly 20 minutes of layered sonorities that reveal an emotional space where silence breathes between grainy textures. Kurihara shapes frequencies with meditative precision, allowing each drone to unfold like a blurred memory.

The result is a sensorial crossing that deepens the meaning of the title, where words disappear but sensations remain to this day.

Raw, groovy, moody, fun, dance floor oriented and dj friendly but also appropriate for more relaxed situations.

Japanese project ish10 yow1r0 presents Jude EP, a three-track release that draws listeners into a world of shadowed tones and quiet intensity. Known for cultivating a melancholic atmosphere reminiscent of film noir soundtracks, the project delivers music that is both haunting and cinematic.

Tiger A – structure out

It’s another debut in the MiMi Records catalog. From the Japanese capital, we receive “Structure Out”, an album by Tiger A that is truly a work of art, where piano improvisation and the blend of ambient sounds go hand in hand, creating a unique auditory experience.

The fusion of flowing melodies with ethereal sonic textures induces a state of contemplation, where the boundaries between music and visuals fade away. The production is subtle yet impactful, inviting deep immersion.

This album is a testament to Tiger A’s ability to tell emotional, transcendent stories through his piano. An album to be listened to without any reservations.

“nut(s)”

dagshenma – nut(s)

Experimental artist Dagshenma returns to MiMi Records with his new album titled nut(s) — an intense dive into the emotional and sensory cacophony of contemporary life.

Blending elements of noise, ambient, and musique concrète, nut(s) gives voice to inner disorder — a sonic confusion that unsettles and liberates in equal measure. The work challenges the listener to find beauty in noise, and structure within rupture.

Dagshenma, known for exploring the outer edges of conventional music, once again delivers a stimulus to strangeness, much like in his previous album Kyoto Japan Walk.

nut(s) is less an album and more an experience – a lucid cacophony that turns chaos into art.

nosomoso

“rift”

nosomoso – rift

Japanese artist nosomoso delivers a work of ambient electronic music marked by subtlety and depth. Drawing from the click and cuts universe and structured around slow-paced rhythms, the album builds minimalist soundscapes where each sound seems to emerge organically and precisely. Rhythmic elements are discreet, almost imperceptible, yet essential to the flow of the compositions.

There are echoes of introspective IDM, with textured glitches and ethereal melodies blending naturally into the stillness. Rather than aiming for tension or climax, Rift embraces calmness as a driving force, allowing motion to unfold through the smallest details – clicks, noises, electronic breaths.

The result is a contemplative and sensitive album, where the natural movement of sounds arises from silence, revealing a mature and refined piece of work that values space and time as core sonic elements.

TaUYu DeShiI – MY MEMORY

Japanese electronic and improvisational artist TaUYu DeShiI crafts an atmospheric soundscape inspired by a journey through Okinawa’s remote islands.

“MY MEMORY” was created mid-trip, the album blends ambient electronica with fluid improvisation, evoking a sense of movement and discovery.

Soft synth textures and organic sound elements mirror the islands’ mystique, capturing fleeting moments of travel. The music radiates exoticism, not as a concept but as a lived experience.

Fans of ambient and minimal electronic music will find this release immersive—an invitation to drift through sound, just as the artist drifted through the islands.
