Sculpture of Time (Apocalypse)

First ever release of the soundtrack created by Japanese Kankyō Ongaku unit Interior for environmental artist Nils-Udo on limited edition LP.

In 1987, Intermission published a Japan-only Laserdisc showcasing one hour of works created by renowned German environmental artist Nils-Udo. To accompany the visuals, they commissioned electronic music group Interior, fresh off their Haroumi Hosono-produced self-titled debut and their Windham Hill Records-released sophomore album Design. For the first time ever, the soundtrack is now available in full HD glory, demonstrating Daisuke Hinata, Eiki Nonaka, Mitsuru Sawamura, and Tsukasa Betto’s precise, subtle, and spellbinding approach to ambient sound design. 

Calming nature sounds, ritualistic synths, meditative atmospheres, and eruptive forays into darker territories mesh superbly in a 4-part soundscape that flirts with oeuvres such Midori Takada’s Through The Looking Glass and Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Green, making Sculpture of Time one of one of the best kept secrets of kankyō ongaku – a must have for mystery hunters and levitating music lovers.

Sculpture of Time (Apocalypse) follows the labels reissue of Interior’s debut album and precedes the upcoming release of Tarzanland, band member Daisuke Hinata’s pitch perfect solo from 1989.
