This ambient album is recorded only with Ableton Live 10 Lite, which is often given as a free software when an electronic music instrument is bought.

Using the loop function of Ableton Live, the songs here are simple yet provide a lucid feeling of the eternity of the nature and lives of living things as the song titles show. This style reflects the original philosophy of ambient music that the songs created in this genre have to merge with the ambience of the environments where the listeners are in.

Impressive and equable melodies, following the previous album "Music for Four Seasons", are depicted in more minimal electronics sounds. Ableton Live 10 Lite, a surprisingly simple DTM Software, is successful to express the challenge of this current works trying to do.

There is another notable attempt in this album. Ziran Qingqing de Huiqui for TRT is a song aimed to be used for TRT, tinnitus retraining therapy. The sounds and the volume levels of instruments are carefully chosen based on the theory of TRT. And the dynamics of the composition is finely controlled to achieve this purpose.

This is an album that explores deeply the potential of ambient music and could be of interest of all the fans of the music genre in the world.

Artist Profile

  • Hideaki Sugai

    Currently: From 2024, I've returned to a progressive metal style and am releasing music with the theme of oppression and resistance in the hope of stopping the massacre in Gaza. "Tears Flow into River Ili" (https://www.amazon.co.jp/music/player/albums/B0DKNVJ1QK), which is reminiscent of early King Crimson, and "Crescent Moon Partisans" (https://www.amazon.co.jp/music/player/albums/B0F996MT1K), which depicts an exotic and heroic Arab dance troupe. For the acoustic guitar, I parody the blues song used in "Seso Blues" (https://www.youtube.com/@%E4%B8%96%E7%9B%B8%E3%83%96%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9). Visited Sakamoto Ryuichi's public library "Sakamoto Library". Admiring Sakamoto's attitude, he discusses the relationship between social issues and aesthetics in MagMag's "Hideaki Sugai's Music Thoughts". Goods (Merch) Kindle books are the goods. "Q&A makes it easy to understand! Introduction to Awa Yamato Yamataikoku Theory" (https://amzn.to/3ZwLX9H) and "How to write a speech manuscript for public speaking Level 1 teaching material - How to master structure, rhetoric, and thinking methods to cultivate wisdom" (https://amzn.to/4ka80eL) are popular. Minimalism and Ambient Music Inspired by the Minimalism: Space. Light. Object. exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore, I started creating a minimal ambient. I revived the song "Kofun" (Tumulus) that I created using only Poly-800 overdubs during my home recording days with modern equipment and used it as an insert song, winning the Excellence Award in the 2018 Tokushima Prefecture Mima City Tourism Promotion Video Contest. You can listen to this song on Bandocamp (https://sugaihideaki.bandcamp.com/track/tumulus-kofun). In 2019, I released "Music for the Four Seasons" (https://www.amazon.co.jp/music/player/albums/B07WTR3GF8). I used this work in an installation with Singaporean artist Ng Pei Ning at the Tokushima Prefectural Museum of Modern Art's "Challenge Tokushima 2020." In 2022, I released "Life's Light and Light Regression" (https://www.amazon.co.jp/music/player/albums/B0BRFLZJL4). It was created using only the free Ableton Live 10 Lite. The track "Nature's Light and Light Regression for TRT" was created based on a research paper on TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy), which is used for patients suffering from tinnitus. During the CoVid-19 Period -Performed live on the distribution site POCOCHA. In order to express inconvenience, I intentionally used a square box without a keyboard. I used a DJ player that plays CDs containing noise, KORG's Volca Bass, KORG sampler KP-3, and Nintendo 3DS (with KORG's M01-D inside). You can listen to the work released at that time on Bandcamp: 'The Tragedy of a Dracula under Lock-Down who Can't Suck Blood' (https://sugaihideaki.bandcamp.com/track/the-tragedy-of-a-dracula-under-lock-down-who-cant-suck-blood).
