Long green fronds draped along the branches, like a scene in which fairies could be heard whispering to one another. But when you try to listen, no sound can be heard. Amidst the mysterious silence, in which no birds or insects make a sound, every living thing seemed to have stopped in its place, only to start dancing when some kind of spell is cast over them.\" - Hiroshi Yoshimura\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally issued on compact disc in 1996, Quiet Forest was Hiroshi Yoshimura’s last album-length work to be released before his passing in 2003. Largely inspired by his trip to the vast forests of the North American Pacific Northwest, the album is an aural reflection of the fantastical, surreal beauty he experienced as he walked through the otherworldly wilderness for the first time. The basic tracks were recorded in the fall of 1993. After numerous revisions to the song titles and a scrapped idea to overlay the tracks with nature field recordings, Hiroshi ultimately produced a latter-day masterwork that feels like the spiritual follow-up to Green, one of his defining works from a decade earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temporal Drift","offers":[{"title":"Vibrant Moss Vinyl","offer_id":42916411080784,"sku":"lightattic","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":42916411113552,"sku":"lightattic","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4838\/files\/yoshimuraquietforest.webp?v=1789001696","url":"https:\/\/deadtankrecords.com\/products\/hiroshi-yoshimura-quiet-forest-lp","provider":"Dead Tank Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
