If Surround can be listened to as music that's asclose to air itself, allowing us to enter each listener's sound scenery, or assomething that exists within a new perspective, expanding the middle groundbetween sound and music, and transforming it into a comfortable space, it wouldbe much appreciated.- Hiroshi Yoshimura Temporal Drift proudly presents the long-awaited, first-everreissue of Surround, Hiroshi Yoshimura's sought-after ambient classic. Originally released as an album in January 1986, Surroundwas recorded by Yoshimura as a commission from home builder Misawa Homes, intended to function as an "amenity" designed to enhance the company's newlybuilt living spaces. A pioneer in the field of environmental music, Yoshimura'sprevious works included Music For Nine Post Cards (1982), originally producedto be played back inside a museum space, and designing sound environments forpublic spaces and subway systems. Surround was recorded almost concurrentlywith the acclaimed and popular GREEN (1986); the two albums are described byHiroyoshi Shiokawa in his liner notes as being Yoshimura's yin and yang. In his original notes for the album, Yoshimura recommendsthat Surround be placed in the same family of sounds "as the vibration offootsteps, the hum of an air conditioner, or the clanging of a spoon inside acoffee cup." And, as he suggests, "with the addition of city noise from outsidethe window, " you may hear Surround in a completely new way.
