Nighthawks

Description

Limited Edition of 300, 45rpm, Heavyweight Sleeve with inside out print, Sticker.
Non-Returnable.

WRWTFWW Records is very happy to announce the release of Nighthawks, the new
collaborative album from composer Azumi Okamura and musician / sound designer
Andrea Esperti, available on limited edition LP (300 copies worldwide!) cut at 45rpm,
and housed in a heavyweight sleeve with inside-out print.
A sublime convergence of Japanese piano poetry and Swiss sonic craftsmanship,
Nighthawks brings together Azumi Okamura’s intimate, emotionally resonant
compositions with Andrea Esperti’s refined
approach to sound design. Esperti is known for his work alongside ambient legend
Takashi Kokubo, and here he extends that sensibility into an intimate and immersive
space.
Echoes of dreams from an imaginary world drift through the album: forgotten
memories rising gently, only to fade again. The music unfolds like a series of inner
scenes – reflective, rich with atmosphere – where minimal piano motifs meet organic
textures and subtle electronic detail. Rooted in the emotional solitude of Edward
Hopper’s urban landscapes, Nighthawks balances stillness and warmth. Gentle,
simple melodies glow softly, wrapped in environmental music that evokes autumn
air and walks by the beach.
Resisting excess and spectacle, the record embraces poetic minimalism and
emotional clarity. Each piece feels suspended in time, offering quiet moments that
linger long after the sound has faded…a drifting, cinematic journey shaped by
sensitivity and restraint.
