アメリカのDJ、Jeff Conklin さんが自分の音楽についてとても嬉しい文章を書いてくれています!!!
自分の拙い英語力でざっくりと要約すると以下のような感じです。英語得意な人はぜひ元の文章を読んでみてくださいね。

ROHS RECORDS Lontanoシリーズは実験音楽やアンビエントミュージックの最も信頼できるレーベルの一つだ。
楽しくいろいろな新譜をチェックしていたらUCHIDA SOUND LABOの作品に聞き入ってしまった。
最小限の厳選された電気的な音とアコースティックギターの音色、冷たい印象の持続音は癒しの光に向かって溶けて消えていくようです。
鳥のさえずりやダイナミクスの微妙な変化、すべてが本当に美しい体験です。

The Lontano Series continues to be one of the most dependable outlets for experimental and ambient music anywhere. A division of Rohs! Records, the label was established in 2018 in Berlin and now calls Italy home.
Prolific and generous (every release is available digitally for a little more than a dollar), Lontano Series has released works by more well known names like David Cordero, Rhucle and Mind Over MIDI in addition to giving many artists their first/best exposure.
So it’s with great pleasure and speed that I check out new releases on the label. Most of them hit the spot, some make me stop in my tracks.
The latter is happening as I indulge in the preview cuts from Kuus, the collaborative effort from Uchida Sound Labo + Shun Kodama. Cavernous yet warm, Kuus’ beauty is understated with minimal washes of electronics and picked acoustic guitar. Some icy drones develop but melt away toward a healing light. Birds chirp and dynamics subtly shift and it’s all really a beautiful experience.
