Hokusai, Under the Wave off Kanagawa (The Great Wave), c. 1830–32

Museum Window

Lofi music for study and work, played beside the great prints of Edo Japan.

Six prints, one quiet hour. Each work stays on screen for ten minutes while a few short notes drift by — who made it, what Edo was like, and what the rest of the world was doing at the time.

Edo Window

Twelve original tracks — koto, shakuhachi and shamisen over soft lofi beats. No vocals, no breaks, about an hour.
