1. Kyoto Window


2019
Album, Captured Tracks
Kyoto Window is Rhedin’s first ambient album, released on Captured Tracks with an accompanying limited cassette edition.
The work unfolds as a series of slow, restrained compositions shaped by atmosphere, memory and imagined geography. Although not based on direct travel, the title refers to Kyoto as an inner landscape — a place approached through resonance rather than documentation.
Shortly after completing the album, Rhedin encountered Japanese ambient music from the 1980s, including Hiroshi Yoshimura’s Wet Land. The affinity was immediate, situating Kyoto Window within a broader lineage of environmental and contemplative sound practices that privilege tone, duration and quiet presence over narrative.
