Tujiko Noriko has expanded electronic pop music towards a heightened spirit where abstraction and emotion are intimately entwined. Echoes on the Hem luxuriates in a gentle sense of levitation, its delicately gliding textures unfurl like a fireworks display in slow motion at dusk.

The Last Days of May – initially inspired by Australian guitarist Roland S. Howard – is @zsennef.bsky.social’a longest piece to date, a wistful work of sweet melancholy with the course and tempo of a dimming summer’s day, undercut by his trademark sleight of hand in intricate, decaying detail.

Thank you, Philip!
