This is a record released by Tokyo-based ambient artist koeosaeme on the American electronic label Orange Milk in Ohio in August 2023.

Contains 20 electronic ambient to ambient jazz songs. DL code included. 

The following is a commentary by the writer himself.

"Before making this album, I went to an empty gallery and for some reason, I was struck by a beige painting that suddenly appeared on the screen. I found it very interesting and had a strong influence on me. I want to use the theme of emotion that suddenly hits us, although we don't notice it unless we are conscious of it. I thought about this.The direction of the sound was to combine my personal thoughts on Western and Eastern minimal classical music, electro-acoustic music, and the chaos of everyday life to create a sound that could be used in indoor spaces and for listening on the move. Rather than wanting to create a pure piece of music, I am very conscious of how to assemble the music as a metamorphic object that fits the theme. 

I divided the composition into I-X and XI-XX, thought about the compatibility associated with patterns such as colors, sounds, and movements of the piano and saxophone, and started sketching with an awareness of what would fit with that background. .As the recording progressed, I realized that the materials were intricately intertwined to create a three-dimensional acoustic space, and from there I added further ideas to create an abstract work.I would be very happy if I could offer a new experience to everyone, and I would like to sincerely thank everyone who listened to it and Orange Milk Records.

Orange Milk Records:

"Beige is a flowing suite of paradoxical pleasure; disarming music that is both charmingly strange and compelling. The album is melodic and lush and yet it retains an alien post-internet air. Bristling glitches and mechanical babbles eddy among immersive liquid midi phrases; a disembodied orchestral motif stranded in a data hub. Parts “I” through “III” set a tone for the album's complex methodologies: a balance is struck between surgical production and impressionistic melody. Beige is subtle but demanding, fluttering seamlessly between cutting edge headphone test tone blipscapes, experimental sound material collage, and minimal neo-classical composition. As Koeosaeme's work continues to stretch and bend, it becomes more spacious, more arresting, more substantive. Beige is a brilliant work of balance, tension, melody, and sound as emotional gesture."
