Oceanic Feeling

by Koki Nakano

supported by

Lillian Simons Oceanic Feeling is elegant, sensuous, and exactly what I hoped it would be. It was a pleasure to get to hear more and more of it in the pre-release months and I jumped to listen to it fully at the moment of release. Favorite track: Oceanic Feeling.

about

Koki Nakano’s new album, Oceanic Feeling, is a celebration of ambiguity. The album’s title is borrowed from an expression coined by the French writer and musician Romain Rolland in 1927. In a letter written to Sigmund Freud, Rolland described the oceanic feeling as “the sensation of eternity, a feeling of being one with the external world as a whole”. While this concept of oneness permeates Nakano’s whole album, the music also deals with his inability to fully live in this so-called "oceanic feeling", capturing thus the composer’s longing, frustration and ultimately search for harmony within his own limitations.

Ballaké Sissoko is my favorite kora player, and following his musical life has led me to some of my most beloved musical discoveries. This latest release is every bit as gorgeous as all of his prior work. And it is so clear how he brings the best out of each of his collaborators. Charlie Moonbeam
