Shimon Hoshino second digital single, Quiet Tasks, was inspired by SHARE LOUNGE, a coworking space at Shonan T-SITE.
Centered on the themes of work concentration, tasks, and study, the track weaves together sounds that capture moments of quietly working or deep in thought.
The soothing groove, played with gentle piano and a lo-fi beat, is crafted to naturally support long periods of work or deep thought.
Without disrupting concentration, the steady rhythm provides a comforting backdrop, creating a soundscape that seamlessly blends into each person's "time of focus whether working, studying, or reading.
The album cover features collaborative artwork combining a newly shot photograph by Shonan-based surf photographer Junji Kumano and an illustration by Masato Maekawa (tAnkers Inc.), a versatile artist active as an illustrator and creative director.
