fuji vibes vol. 2

The second volume of fuji vibes from Ryuu. Saxophone and double bass over brushed drums, all running warm through vinyl saturation. A lot of the small movement, the FX, the swells, the live feel, comes off the SP-404, played in real time rather than programmed in.

The music sits in late-night territory. Smooth, unhurried, that head-nod tempo where jazz phrasing and boom bap drums settle into the same pocket. Track names borrow short words from Japanese; wind, dream, fog, sea. Anchors, more than descriptions.
