This is the album Sakura by Susumu Yokota. I think it is classified as Ambient Music, but maybe there is too much happening for that. I have several CDs by Yokota and all of them have interesting covers. Today I wanted to find out more about him and discovered that he was also a graphic designer and that died in 2015. This is a good article about him – LINK.

There is also Song of the Sleeping Forest, from another album. I have been listening to this a lot:

I hear several classical music samples in that piece. Amazing. How was he able to do that? The licensing would be a nightmare… unless it flew under the radar? But no matter, it is an amazing piece I can’t stop listening to.
