A pioneer in the field of environmental music, Yoshimura’s previous works included \u003cem\u003eMusic For Nine Post Cards\u003c\/em\u003e (1982), originally produced to be played back inside a museum space, and designing sound environments for public spaces and subway systems. \u003cem\u003eSurround\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded almost concurrently with the acclaimed and popular \u003cem\u003eGREEN\u003c\/em\u003e (1986); the two albums are described by Hiroyoshi Shiokawa in his liner notes as being Yoshimura’s yin and yang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his original notes for the album, Yoshimura recommends that \u003cem\u003eSurround\u003c\/em\u003e be placed in the same family of sounds “as the vibration of footsteps, the hum of an air conditioner, or the clanging of a spoon inside a coffee cup.” And, as he suggests, “with the addition of city noise from outside the window,” you may hear \u003cem\u003eSurround\u003c\/em\u003e in a completely new way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"---","offers":[{"title":"VINYL","offer_id":43122581176495,"sku":"850054840011","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/8833\/2463\/products\/tmp_2F1694114908661-mmct9nzv4t-d5fe3872063d04183b367554a06eb42d_2FDRIFT09_Cover_2B_281_29_974x_ba2f1025-c678-428b-a292-3d092973295c.jpg?v=1705622108","url":"https:\/\/endofanear.sbs\/products\/850054840011","provider":"End Of An Ear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
