The fourth compilation of TENbient, an event focusing on ambient music held at the live space Ten in Asagaya, is released by elect-low and will be available from June 7, 2023.
The diverse content includes works by past event performers, drones, modular synths, and electronica.
The album includes works by Teruyuki Kurihara, who has released on the German label "Mille Plateaux," Ooyamada, a former member of "Inseam 89" who has also released on the "Landscaping Project" label, Daisan, "the north end" and "the north end" label. Daisanmyaki, and FeLid, guitarist for "the north end" and owner of "C ENTR A L".
In addition, "TENbient" will be held for the first time on June 10 (Sat.) and 11 (Sun.), immediately after the release, at "Ten" for two days in a row.
Was an honour to make this mix for Ransom Note. As I've often said there are only two types of music - party and chill - and this is a chill mix, albeit one which probably isn't very relaxing.
Features my favourite contemporary musicians, some of which - Kira May, Teruyuki Kurihara, Cadu Tenório, Katie Gately - have previously passed through the bowels of the cultural filtration system that is Blue Tapes.
Others, like Ose, Julia Reidy, Jonny Greenwood, Kamasi Washington, Shuta Hasunuma, 박지하 Park Jiha, Ariel Kalma, and KATE NV are just artists who I worship from a distance.
Features a little interview with me talking about work, making music, the label and crap like that.
I'll be performing for the first time in a year and three months.

現代のAIは人類の集合意識の具象化だ。
肉体を持たず、特定の自意識に縛られることなく、それらを冷徹に無視できるAIの視線は、命題と印象を最短距離の直線で結ぶことができる。
ときに人が羨むほど純粋な彼らとの共同制作が、われわれをも自由にしてくれる…『We Don’t Know What Love Is(With AI)』はそんな期待を抱かせてくれる。
Kentaro nagata, a member of Coldhot and also involved in TENbient compilations, has released an album. All songs are co-written with AI and other artists such as ChatGPT.
The production method is to tell the AI the image of the song, and the AI suggests chord progressions and scales. Kentaro Nagata performed, programmed, and mixed the music based on the suggested chords and scales. The music is composed mainly of piano and synthesizer, ambient and 80's electronic music.
The title of the album is a reference to the jazz standard "You Don't Know What Love Is," a reference to "AI" and "LOVE. The album explores the coexistence of AI, humans, and musicians.
The album will be released on April 14 (Fri.) from various distribution stores.

Apparently this is my most played song of the decade. It's a total classic of slow, soulful live techno. From our third ever release, back in 2012. Seeing @Teru_Kurihara riff on this live at The Outer Church in Brighton was magical.
