soft jazz for people far from home

QUIET ROOMS FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK ALONE A small room in an old Japanese house, late at night. On the low desk, a half-written page and a fountain pen, and beside them an envelope already sealed. One paper lantern glows at the edge of the desk. Against the wall sits an old travel bag that has been a long way. If you live far from home - for study, for work, for a reason that made sense at the time - this room is for the quiet hours when you think of the people on the other side of the distance. This is soft jazz for people far from home - 2 hours 6 minutes of slow piano, brushed drums and warm double bass, made as background music for late work, studying and long quiet hours on your own. 0:00 The Letter Room 3:34 Writing Paper 6:43 Postscript 10:06 Homeward 13:14 Long Distance 16:07 Sealed 19:00 Half a Page 22:21 One Lantern 25:11 Old Travel Bag 27:59 Different Time Zone 31:33 Dear Everyone 34:39 The Long Way Here 37:43 Quiet Street 41:04 What I Didn't Say 44:11 Fountain Pen 47:26 Familiar Food 50:22 A Photo on the Desk 53:44 News from Home 56:37 Still Here 59:52 Miles Away 1:03:06 Paper and Ink 1:06:26 Late Night Call 1:09:34 Folding the Letter 1:12:43 Someday Soon 1:15:55 Closed Shoji 1:19:09 The Other Side 1:22:16 Small Room, Big World 1:25:18 Writing Slowly 1:28:40 Say Hello for Me 1:31:33 A Long Way Off 1:34:31 Second Page 1:37:29 Home Is a Feeling 1:40:48 Warm Lantern 1:43:40 Stamp and Seal 1:47:15 Tomorrow's Post 1:50:23 Nearly Midnight 1:53:29 Closer Than It Seems 1:57:02 Homeward Again 2:00:27 Sign Your Name 2:03:41 The Letter Room, Good Night Over two hours of slow ambient jazz - soft upright piano, brushed drums kept low, warm double bass. No sudden swells. No climax. Built to sit behind long work and stay there. For everyone living far from the people they love. The distance is real. So are they. A new room every day - subscribe so the next one finds you. Best with headphones at low volume. Engawa is a collection of quiet Japanese interiors for people who work alone. An engawa is the narrow wooden veranda between the inside of a house and the garden beyond - neither one room nor the other. A place to sit while you think. #softjazz #homesick #focusmusic #latenight #japan
