OUT TODAY:
The 14th track 'cosmos' from the pianist/composer and member of Anoice, Yuki Murata's new solo album '24 Piano Sketches' which will be released from April 1st, 2024 to March 20th, 2025, is out now. This long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year.
This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive.
This is a masterpiece of piano solo song featuring a lovely melodies.

We released a lead single 'Saint Loup' from 'Seminky' that is the third album from Akamatsu, a music project by Rémi Quéron, a French music composer and multi-instrumentalist who plays a piano, synthesizer, harmonium, and xylophone.
Akamatsu debuted as one of the participants of a compilation album 'Erik Satie et les Nouveaux Jeunes' with internationally renowned neoclassical artists Nils Frahm, Rachel Grimes, Julia Kent, and Sylvain Chauveau. After releasing two electronica albums featuring finely calculated fantastic sounds, Rémi Quéron created 'Seminky’, which means 'seeds' in the Czech language, based on acoustic instruments together with some instrument players from France and The Czech Republic.
This digital-limited lead single 'Saint Loup' is a human powered electronica song, led by high tempo drums performed by a guest player, Fabrice Bony, which is reminiscent of Tortoise and Jaga Jazzist, and a masterpiece of instrumental music featuring retro and lo-fi sounds of a synthesizer by Rémi Quéron, like the other songs on the album.
This song has already been released by Akamatsu himself and is available on digital music platforms such as Spotify open.spotify.com/track/3AA8t4wz06hou1MeC86USo and Apple Music music.apple.com/us/album/saint-loup-single/1706590… , but it is also be available to download for free on Ricco Label's BandCamp page riccolabel.bandcamp.com/album/saint-loup-feat-fabr… now.
This is a new masterpiece created by the fusion of electronica, jazz, and neo-classical.

Thank you for waiting. We've restocked some copies of vinyl record of Anoice's latest album 'Stories in White' for our BandCamp page. Now available to order again on riccolabel.bandcamp.com/album/stories-in-white
This album is the final chapter of the trilogy about the modern history of humans, which follows up the band’s third album, 'The Black Rain' and fifth album, 'Ghost in the Clocks'. It could be said that Anoice's culmination of their entire career was built by the beautiful soundscape of the magnificent orchestra-like sound and destructive noise.
It is available on a number-limited 15cm square-sized box version which includes lovely illustrations, a sticker, a copy of CD, together with a piece of white paper, and also on white-coloured 180g vinyl record with a beautiful gatefold cover, and each record has its serial number.
