feels good to release a longer project for the first time since 2021 😌i'm quite proud of these tracks, i hope you all enjoy them! i got a new album in the works where I'm expanding on some of the styles I started on this project, so this EP can be considered a "prelude" of sorts to that. there will be a vinyl pressing of this project as well, news to come on that shortly. thanks for the support as always, take it easy ✌
Love these new tracks, as always never disappointed with you ! Have you an idea on the release of your album, can't wait for it... Love, support and fervor from Belgium
@@bengland7795 if i had to venture a guess, id say first half of 2024, but nothing set in stone! hopefully these tracks can tide you over a bit until then :) thanks for listening.
Please keep it up @Kalaido!!! This level of work of yours is next to Nujabes. A literal hidden gem in this specific style of music. I hope that one day you decide to release a vinyl. Also, keep releasing new music. I promise you will be even more recognized! - Drew
thanks man, i really appreciate that!! there is a vinyl pressing happening actually, you can pre-order on my bandcamp (kalaido.bandcamp.com) much appreciated for the support 🫡
wow absolutely incredible! the intro to sway reminded me of my childhood during the summer when i would hear wind chimes blowing in the wind. So peaceful and totally encapsulates such a nostalgic feeling❤
so cool! in the area i live in, almost everyone has windchimes on their front porch, so i hear them everywhere i go basically. definitely has seeped into the music.
Very nice work, relaxing and beautiful, I also love the beginning of Sway, the sound of the bells gives it a mystical touch.😊💖 The art is also wonderful as always!😊👍
there is a japanese garden here in portland that sells the most amazing windchimes, i bought some and recorded them to make that intro. i love the mysterious energy they can give a track
yeah actually, the beginning of teahouse spirits starts with a recording i made on my phone of some windchimes that were on display outside of the japanese garden gift shop 😅 so then i eventually went back and actually bought some lol
@@kalaido3667 That is amazing! Thank you for replying! I have used KAMI in one of my videos, and I have plans for the other two we just mentioned. I love how you fluidly merge the chimes with the rhythm and the feels they evoke when I listen. I’m excited about this new album. Thanks again.
I commented on your "Whisked Away Again" track about how that song in particular seemed to have a notable influence of traditional Japanese aesthetics, and lo and behold, here's an entire EP that I just stumbled across that is explicitly influenced by traditional Japanese music. Again, very well made. Though if I can be permitted to make a personal suggestion based on the fact that my favorite time periods in Japanese history are much older than Basho, have you ever looked into incorporating gagaku (雅楽) into a song? It's usually a lot less pleasant for most people to listen to, largely because it's more like sustained, pleasant noise than it is what we typically think of as music. That being said, if there was anyone out there who could incorporate the ethereal sounds of things like a koto (琴), hichiriki (篳篥), sho (笙), and one or more of the various flutes like the ryuteki (竜笛) or the shinobue (篠笛) it would be you. Or if you already have a track or two featuring these instruments, I would love to be pointed to where I can find them.
So far, I've actually incorporated a lot more traditional Chinese instruments than Japanese. I own and play a Guzheng, and then I've incorporated other Chinese instruments such as Pipa, Erhu, Dizi, and Xiao. As for Japanese instruments, I've used a Shakuhachi before, but that's about it. I find I'm more influenced by Japan when it comes to aesthetics, like track titles, artwork, and musical inspiration (Nujabes, Joe Hisaishi, Yuji Ohno, etc) rather than the actual instruments used. That being said, I'm very open to using more traditional Japanese instruments in the future! Thanks very much for all your recommendations by the way, I will be looking into all of them :)

Another great project Kalaido :) Your music creates so much imagery it's fantastic inspiration!
thank you :) imagery/artwork is a big source of inspiration for my music, so its nice that it comes full circle in that way
Such beautiful peaceful and relaxing melodies 😍👍
AWESOME job with the chimes 👍

Peace of mind😌, Thanks

I often listen to your music when I need to calm down.
Thanks for a great EP.
I look forward to the next one👍
that is great to hear, thank you very much for listening! ✌
from the artwork to the actual music, this is truly a masterpiece. Love your work man!
I believe Kalaido is spelled, “G.O.A.T”. 👏
He's a monster for sure, my goat is jhfly :)
Just perfect. I love it.
Listening to this all the way In Jacksonville Fl, this is helping me create more+ study
I love your work so much bro. One of my favourite producers by a distance 🔥💯
last track give me vibe
YOOOOOOOOOOO another banger
Amazing tunes!✌️
thank you!
Today has already been a great day, but now new Kalaido? Thanks man, can't wait for the vibes 😎🙏
of course- thanks for stopping by!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
lovely
I love that you bought and used real chimes for SWAY. They remind me of the chimes on FLOATING GHOSTS and TEAHOUSE SPIRITS. Are they the same?
yeah actually, the beginning of teahouse spirits starts with a recording i made on my phone of some windchimes that were on display outside of the japanese garden gift shop 😅 so then i eventually went back and actually bought some lol

Very good listen as usual, are you going to release the vinyl through Qrates again? 7 or 12 inch? Much love, be blessed
