"Like the moment of stillness, after the wind passes through the garden, when the rain stops for a brief second..."Notably inspired by Ерік Саті'ѕ Furniture Music and Брайан Іно's ambient work, Satoshi Ashikawa aimed to compose music" intended to be listened to in a casual manner, as a musical landscape or a sound object...not something that would stimulate прослуховувачі but music that should drift like smoke and become part of the environment."

the result is simply phenomenal, тонкий minimalism and emotional elegance exquisitely orchestrated by Satoshi Ishikawa and his team consisting of his wife масами Ashikawa (on flute), Мідорі Такада (on vibraphone), Юко Уцумі (on harp), Томоко Sono (on piano), and Junko Arase (він вібрафон).

In conjunction with Still Way, WRWTFWW is releasing Laistigh den Ghleo, a companion album by Irish ambient/minimalist composer Gareth Quinn Redmond, inspired by Ashikawa s approach.
