Based on the question of the nature of humanity and the universe, with the unintentional awareness of "Distance in time and space", this powerful release combines enchanting vocals and emotional lyrics of the multicultural, Chinese artist, Yongsi; and the cinematic sound of the producer& label "makran" owner, Ryuuta Takaki. With the R&B singer Ume featuring on "M3. Heaven or Hell" and makran rapper Shnayhon yoso on "M5. Between Blues", this EP is born to be grand-scaled.
Yongsi is a singer, songwriter, and music producer. She was born in Guiyang, China. As a child, she was exposed to classical and early Chinese rock music under the influence of her composer mother and began composing at the age of 12. She lived abroad several times in her youth and moved to Japan on her own at 17, then majored in International Relations and Linguistics at Doshisha University. In 2019, she released her first single <Where I Will> which marks the beginning of her career as an artist. Growing up in a complex environment where Eastern and Western languages and cultures collided, she was enabled to build up a unique perspective and multilingual music style. Which is often described as enchanting, dark, and unpredictable. With her plan of moving to London in September 2022, she is currently working on her new album which is dedicated to people who come from nomadic backgrounds with intense sensitivities and emotions.
Ryuuta Takaki, the Tokyo-based electronic music producer, has released a new album that takes listeners on a mesmerizing journey through Eastern-inspired soundscapes. The album is an expansive sonic epic, likening the experience to a spiritual voyage that strings together elements of Buddhism, Shintoism, and other Eastern philosophies. Drawing from traditional Japanese sounds and blending them with modern electronica, ambient textures, and hip-hop influences, Takaki's latest work delves deep into themes of transcendence and myth. Through intricate layers of sound, Takaki crafts a musical narrative that evokes the timeless and the ethereal. The album not only pays homage to Eastern mysticism but also explores its relevance in the modern world, inviting listeners to experience a meditative state that transcends borders and eras. This latest release continues Takaki's pursuit of creating music that is both spiritually profound and sonically innovative.
