Recordings from the Åland Islands

the take

I’ve been looking for a record that comes even a little bit close to the beauty of Ichiko Aioba’s “Windswept Adan” for a long time now. I finally found it in this album!!! I love how it’s difficult to distinguish the field recording elements from studio recording elements. The sounds of outside, from wind chimes to birds and gentle waves, play beautifully with soft synths and strings. The ambient tracks have so much depth to them. It sounds like having a dream in the afternoon sun on a quiet beach. Very happy to have found another perfect album!!! :)
