This album was inspired by my sound installation live "Surround Cruise Aquarium by sound Funriture" which used the entire aquarium held in 2014 and gained popularity.
I was Inspired from "water" ...that liquidity, continuity, eternity, floating feeling, color, landscape.
I converted these impressions as a deeply supple one musical scape in delicately.
A sound that releases from gravity and carries the experience that drifts in the sound ocean to time and space.
Ensemble that envelops 360 degree space wraps your day, to nostalgic unknown world.
This album will guide you to a sense like a fish swimming in water all the way.
In a dazzling light, like a piece of wood drifting on the surface of the water.

I got this new score from Mr. Fujieda during the ambient outdoor event Camp Off-Tone's appearance and listened to the returning mountain path just before I knew the theme and concept inside the car I came home.
Although it was return of off-tone which experienced enough ambient, I got surprised and stimulated by the contents that drowsiness and exhaustion also blows away, and while driving, I uttered a word alone and repeatedly as a word I finished the mountain path from the campsite of Kofu which was the venue and headed for the highway.
The title song "TONERIUM" of this album where healing and exquisite stimulation are united is a spectacular beauty and, in contrast, a heavy bass loop of a string that continues endlessly from the head, this title song which extends over 24 minutes is exactly the universe .
The sound image of comfortable gagaku from the middle stage to the latter half and collaboration of water itself which is also the theme which became knowing later will develop. Then the string instrument will be futuristic toward the last and the curtain will close. The remaining four songs are automatically pulled into the world of fantasy automatically as it is.
Please experience everything intelligent ambient.

There is "furniture music" that was proposed by French composer Eric Satie.
Like furniture, there are songs written aiming at music that does not interfere with everyday life even there, but consciously heard.
But the audience showed interest in these songs, stopped talking and listened to the songs.
I remember such an episode.
The music of Sound Furniture is also gentle like BGM,
There is always the ability to attract the consciousness of the audience.
TONERIUM of this work is a sound scape that spells "water" as the theme,
It creates a shaking scenery and awakens the former memory.
This work that penetrates the thorough world sense throughout the whole story,
It drives us to a different dimension of fertile water.

Sound Furniture has been collaborating with us three times at Yoga Under The Sky, opening of the music event "Sunset Lounge" held in Enoshima every year.
Every time at exquisite timing, exquisite sounds are played, and the body and mind naturally open to the senses naturally to the vibrant sensibility and the air feeling that delivers the surrounding space from everyday to fine quality.
With open air yoga held the other day, I knew that the new score was not a subject of water, I was in a space above the lawn with a perfect blue sky, , I felt like I was playing with water all the time.
It seems that you are looking at the fishing boats as if you are looking up at the water surface glancing from the bottom of the water, or if you notice it is on the shore, you feel the surging waves comfortably with the whole body.
Beyond that's meaning of "sound furniture", the sound of Sound Furniture softens the space around the people listening to it unintentionally and changes comfortably at a level as if noticing it.
For us who live on a water planet and live with a body made mostly of water, how much memory is associated with water?
By the way, it was wrapped in water before being born in this world.
It might be a good idea to overlay the world of "Tonerium" which makes us learn from such a deep distant memory to vibrant memories on a daily layer.
