Sometimes music awakens forgotten memories. On the contrary, in an instant, it reminds me of a place I've never been to and a landscape I've never seen before, and allows me to stay in it forever. this mysterious freedom and tolerance that has both immediate effect and permanence that people continue to have a special affection for the art form of music.

"Nocturnal" is a work based on the motif of "night", as the title suggests. From the personal perspective of an individual at the bottom of the night, to the bird's-eye view of cities and forests from the sky, the images that this work throws at us are extremely diverse. Almost all of the “static aspects” of the night that we can experience—it's no exaggeration to say that. night. The songs titled "Insomnia" (Insomnia) and "Four O'clock" (4 am) at the end of each A/B side are symbolic of the big crescendo that leads to the finale. As you can see, the impression This work brings to listeners is multifaceted and full of suggestions.

The same can be said for the scent of the special organic essential oil that was the source of inspiration during the creation of this work. Eucalyptus Radiata's transparent freshness and ginger's spicy stimulation. This oil, which has two sides, evokes various scenes and stories on its own. The depth of "Nocturnal" will become tremendous when you experience it in combination with oil.

Music (recordings), which is basically the art of hearing. The sense of smell is added to the viewing experience. It further sharpens both the immediacy and permanence of the art form of music, and expands our image to the limit. new project literally renews the "physical" music experience. I hope that this extremely tranquil and private moment will add color to the lives of as many people as possible. [TOMC]"
