Rion – Fireflies
Ian Hawgood will probably be a familiar name to most: apart from making ambient music he’s also running the well-respected Home Normal label. Ryo Nakata’s name might not immediately ring a bell, but he may be better knows as Ryonkt.
With “Fireflies“, released on the Hibernate label, the duo works together for the first time as Rion.
“Fireflies“ is “inspired by the magic of low light periods and the quietude of a summer spent in the countryside.”
While this description may sound like an introduction to any average drone-ambient album, the result of this collaboration is remarkably different from most others.
