‘Mirage’ is the anticipated fourth album from London-based Japanese pro- ducer Anchorsong aka Masaaki Yoshida. The highly-f ted MPC wizard presents a record that evokes hazy soundscapes constructed with wind instrumentals, choirs, and global sonic particles. Build- ing on Anchorsong’s long-standing tradition of “borderless music”, ‘Mirage’ fuses intricate rhythms with minimal yet immersive lush interplays of sound to create an auditory odyssey.
‘Mirage’ marks a departure from Anchorsong’s previous two albums - ‘Cere- monial’ and ‘Cohesion’ - specific geographical references. Instead, the album which was half-written during lockdown and when nobody could travel, shows Masaaki internalise his global influences and worldview to conjure a “vague landscape that only exists in my mind”. “I let my imagination run wild and thought of places I’ve never been to. The tracks that came out of this process diversified the tones and colour of the record further. I hope it takes a listener on the journey I experienced when creating it.” Anchorsong is a modern traditionalist and a globally recognised solo performer prominent for his unique live shows described by spectators as “like watching a painter drawing on a white canvas”, at famed festivals SXSW, Glastonbury, Worldwide Festival and supporting the likes Bonobo, Portico Quartet and DJ Kush.
