Awọn awọn album

YAI ni a duo ti o wa ninu awọn ọkunrin ọkunrin David Lackner ati John Thayer.

<pfseg id="0">Lackner jẹ oludasile ati multi-instrumentalist (saxophone, piano, flaute, E.W.I., synthesizers) specializing in jazz, minimalism, ati pop music. Ni 2008, o ti iṣeto awọn oniwe-awọn label ati ọkọ ayọkẹlẹ studio, Galtta, bi a ọkọ ayọkẹlẹ fun producing, film scoring, and releasing music of various like-minded artists.

Thayer ni a audio engineer ati multi-instrumentalist (gẹgẹgẹbi buburu ati percussion) ti o wa Sky Time, to awọn agbaye.

The striking cover image, created by Japanese artist Shigeki Fukumoto, was selected with care by Lackner and Thayer. Fukomoto has been quoted as saying that when he begins a project, he has no expectations of where the process will lead him, no specific hopes of what the end product will be. He says, “The absence of a plan may seem odd to people, but I believe that heightened sensitivity can lead us into a world of new aesthetic experience.” The statement resonates with the duo, who approach their endeavors in much the same way.

While YAI’s first album, Flowers From Home (NNF, 2022)) jẹ iṣẹ ti o dara julọ ti “off-world” ti a ti tẹsiwaju pẹlu iyanu, iyanu-ọna agbara ti o tẹsiwaju si awọn science fiction - fẹ Ursula K. Le Guin's (literally) otherworldly awọn iṣẹ-Sky Time documents a return to our Earth's atmosphere, welling up with moist winds and soft explosions of life-giving greenery.
