Reimuzik releases his first 4-track EP, Whispers in the Wind, a chill, lofi-adjacent collection inspired by the healing and stillness he found in the mountains of Nagano, Japan. If you have ever wanted to bottle the feeling of standing on a mountain clearing looking at the lake below, this is about as close as it gets. Just with fewer mosquitoes.
Reimuzik (real name Andrew) and I actually go way back. We first met when he was in college and I was still in high school. I was surprised to find out he was kind of an exchange student, having grown up in Tokyo and attending university in Chicago. During those years, he would sometimes spend spring breaks and summers with my family, where we spent our time playing music and video games.
So when he reached out about finally releasing music, especially music centered on healing, nature, and the divine, I could not wait to hear what he had been working on.
While it does not land neatly in the lofi beats or ambient music bins, Whispers in the Wind offers something even better: an experience of the trees, the clouds, and the gentle winds of the Japanese mountains whispering their old secrets.
