about

In the final single to be taken from the forthcoming collaborative EP Asta Hiroki and Tristan de Liège channel folktronica, orchestral and cinematic downtempo on the gorgeous composition - ‘Impressions’.

Built around a hypnotizing ascending piano line, the two have concocted a tasteful and nostalgic piece with shades of early-era Four Tet, Koushik, David Axelrod and Les Baxter. Hints of hazy psychedelic flavours dance around the core romantic tones and add an extra edge to a track that is already rich in musicality and mature in the arrangement.

Having spent over half a decade as long-distance friends and frequent remote collaborators, Asta Hiroki and Tristan de Liège decided to embark upon a joint project in late 2021 that saw them meet up in person and produce a collection of tracks centred around an exploration of leftfield electronic styles with an emphasis on live instrumentation and human performance at the core of the production methods.

Organising the recording process in Nicosia, Cyprus they created an EP from lengthy writing sessions working from two keyboards and a drum programmer, recording on the fly, and building the compositions out organically into their final form. The result is a glorious fusion of their complementary production styles with nu jazz, beat music, ambient, neoclassical, and leftfield electronica influences all coming through the pieces.

Since incorporating Folded Music Asta Hiroki has gone from strength to strength, picking up wide support at radio from Tom Ravenscroft, Chris Hawkins, Cerys Matthews, and Huey Morgan at BBC 6Music, MBE on KCRW, FIP, Couleur 3 and Radio Eins. Not to mention press heavyweights XLR8R and some stellar streaming figures thanks to placements on Spotify’s coveted Jazztronica and Lofi Beats editorial playlists.

Tristan de Liège is a prolific producer with no less than ten albums to his name and counting BBC Radio 1 (Powerdown Playlist, Sian Eleri, Decompression Session), France Inter, FIP, JazzFM, WorldwideFM, Indie Shuffle and Bandcamp as fans of his work.
