IfSurroundcan be listened to as music thats as close to air itself, allowing us to enter each listeners sound scenery, or as something that exists within a new perspective, expanding the middle ground between sound and music, and transforming it into a comfortable space, it would be much appreciated. Hiroshi Yoshimura

Temporal Drift proudly presents the long-awaited, first-ever reissue ofSurround, Hiroshi Yoshimuras 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 companys newly built living spaces. A pioneer in the field of environmental music, Yoshimuras previous works includedMusic For Nine Post Cards(1982), originally produced to be played back inside a museum space, and designing sound environments for public spaces and subway systems.Surroundwas recorded almost concurrently with the acclaimed and popularGREEN(1986); the two albums are described by Hiroyoshi Shiokawa in his liner notes as being Yoshimuras yin and yang.
