Flow State - Yoshihiro Sawasaki
You’re on the free tier of Flow State. If you enjoy our work-friendly music recs, we also put out a two-hour mix every Tuesday and publish a daily Spotify playlist for paying subscribers. Unlock those features and support our work by subscribing to Flow State: Good morning. There’s a new Flow State T-shirt, which you can buy here while supplies last. It’s Friday so we’re listening to something more upbeat. Today we’re listening to Yoshihiro Sawasaki, a Japanese electronic music producer based in Kyoto. Sawasaki’s music isn’t just upbeat, it’s optimistic. In the early ‘90s, he drew heavy inspiration from German and French prog rock, putting out synth-driven, “technoized” versions of that music.¹ In 1994 he released Perfumed Garden under his own name, a feel-good, funky, very ‘90s record. We’re playing the deluxe version of that album released in 2019 for the 25th anniversary, which includes several additional bonus tracks. Perfumed Garden - Yoshihiro Sawasaki (100m, no vocals) Also wanted to reiterate that we’re selling a T-shirt: limited edition, 100% Supima cotton, and screen-printed. If this goes well we’ll do a seasonal line. Have a really awesome weekend. 1 The artist’s website Rate today’s rec: Awesome | Good | Meh | Bad | Terrible Support Flow State by becoming a subscriber | Group Subscriptions |
