Review by Julian Seery Gude

Matsukaze, the latest album by Håkon Storm, is a mesmerizing and deeply emotional musical journey. The album features a unique blend of traditional Japanese instruments, such as the shakuhachi and koto, with contemporary electronic beats and ambient soundscapes.

From the opening track "Matsukaze," the listener is transported to a mystical and otherworldly realm. The haunting melodies of the shakuhachi are accompanied by a pulsating beat, creating a sense of tension and release that is both exhilarating and cathartic.

Throughout the album, Håkon Storm's expert production skills are on full display. He seamlessly blends together different musical elements, creating a cohesive and immersive listening experience. The use of field recordings and found sounds adds an extra layer of depth and texture to the music, creating a sense of place and atmosphere.

One standout track is "Komorebi," a beautiful and meditative piece that features the delicate plucking of the koto and the gentle rustling of leaves. The track creates a sense of calm and tranquility, inviting the listener to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the present moment.
