Takashi Kokubo meets fellow environmental ambient pioneer - turned chocolatier - Yumiko Morioka in a sublime marriage of fragrant piano and vivid synth atmospheres.

Morioka’s patiently glacial keys gild and decorate Kokubo’s sceneries, alternating from pastorally rooted to dreamier elevations that draw on their shared interests in cosmology, sacred geometry and Japan’s mystical Katakamuna tradition - a system of symbology based on ancient texts, and referring to an invisible life energy that underlines the universe.
