Masaya Ozaki is a New York/Iceland-based composer born in Niigata, Japan. His work examines the idea of space as a transient entity, the subtleties behind small moments, the sensitivity of the ephemera, and the future of sound in an exceedingly materialistic world. He often finds inspiration in nature, the fragility of human interactions, and the momentums behind them. Masaya’s artwork materializes as field recordings and compositions for ensembles, film, dance, visual, and experimental arts.

The listening experience evokes a sense of silence within the music as well as the space between the chords. It expresses the breath of life and offers a meditation on delicate strands of subtle awareness.
Classic ambient longform soundscape, excellent for winding down and dreaming to.

Deep dark blizzardscapes to rumble through the night.
In the far north, whispers of a bygone civilization linger in the crisp air. Intriguing clues fuel speculation: ancient maps marked with cities that seem to have vanished, and weathered remnants of massive stone structures scattered across the frozen landscape.
These structures, with their rough, geometric shapes, stand as silent witnesses to a forgotten past. But the most compelling evidence comes from the stories passed down through generations by the indigenous people. They speak of a time when unknown travelers from the north walked these lands, leaving only echoes in the legends they carried…
