WRWTFWW Records presents the limited-edition vinyl reissue of
Natural Sonic
, the groundbreaking 1990 environmental percussion album by Japanese composer and performer
Yoshiaki Ochi
. Long a hidden gem of the kankyō ongaku movement,
Natural Sonic
finally returns in its full analog glory, housed in a heavyweight sleeve with obi and carefully remastered from the original archives of Wacoal Art Center/Spiral's visionary NEWSIC label. Originally released only in Japan at the dawn of the 1990s,
Natural Sonic
is a mesmerizing exploration of earthly sound and rhythm -- a sonic tapestry woven from wood, water, and stone, and skin. Ochi, who at the time was the in-house composer and performer for world-renowned designer
Issey Miyake
, created a series of elemental pieces that blur the line between avant-garde percussion, ritual music, and environmental sound art. The result is both deeply physical and profoundly meditative -- an album that breathes with nature itself. Echoing the organic minimalism of
Midori Takada
's
Through the Looking Glass
and the ecological grandeur of
Geinoh Yamashirogumi
's
Ecophony Gaia
, Ochi's compositions open portals into primal landscapes, evoking forests, rivers, and stones in flux. Part of NEWSIC's celebrated experimental catalog -- alongside
Yoshio Ojima
's
Une Collection des ChaƮnons
,
Motohiko Hamase
's
#Notes of Forestry
, and

Rendez-Vous
--
Natural Sonic
now finds new life for contemporary listeners seeking sound that feels both timeless and vital. A singular album of resonance and restraint,
Natural Sonic
is a treasure from the golden age of Japanese environmental music, finally available again over three decades later.
