Two listens for this one.

I was caught off guard by the shortness of the loop on this one, and I’m not sure if I got past that enough. Ended up with something that feels a bit split apart, with an attempt to make it all connect near the end that sort of works.

Shota Kageyama’s ( 景山将太) “Nuvema Town” (“カノコタウン”) is from Nintendo DS Pokémon Black・White Super Music Collection, the soundtrack for Pokémon Black and White.

I hope you enjoy.

The gentle stirring of sounds, waking up, and keeping things small. There’s space and there’s a rising to the morning, almost. At least, it feels like waking up, and coming into the first hours of the day.

These sounds come gently, and they are humble. They present a small, familiar space, and they carry a sense that’s almost as though there’s not a care in the world.

In a sense it’s all about innocence, and what comes before a journey. They play long and simple, and they feel almost pastoral, or at least somehow agricultural-related. But there’s something more urban in there too; it’s on the edge of nature, and finding a line where it and the urban and rural meet. And it drifts on as it fades out and the song ends.
