Forest of Tranquility LP

Masayoshi Fujita spent thirteen years in Berlin before Erased Tapes founder Robert Raths discovered him in 2012, then moved back to rural Hyogo, fitting a vibraphonist whose real instrument is modification: he preps the vibraphone with metal and foil to bend what it can say. Forest of Tranquility started life as a soundtrack for a nature installation at Japan’s Expo 2025, a better fit for him than a conventional studio brief. It joins a catalog that includes Apologues, Book of Life, and the marimba-led Bird Ambience, built on blurring acoustic percussion into ambient composition.
