Before it became words

Yasuhiro Soda is an artist who creates ambient music using only a single guitar and a plethora of effect pedals. He doesn't use any generative AI or synthesizers, and completes all of his music in one track, one take, and no editing. His approach to production is similar to a calligrapher drawing a line in one stroke. His sounds, which incorporate the Zen spirit, Eastern philosophy, and the sense of wabi-sabi, reverberate deeply without being overly assertive.
