slow jazz for people with a long week ahead

QUIET ROOMS FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK ALONE A living room in an old Japanese house on a cold night. In the middle of the tatami sits a kotatsu - a low table with a thick quilt spread over it, warm underneath. On top, a blank notebook, a pencil and a small basket of tangerines. One paper lantern glows beside it, and the shoji are closed against the dark. If there's a long week waiting on the other side of tonight, this room is for the hours before it starts. Stay under the quilt a little longer. This is slow jazz for people with a long week ahead - 2 hours 6 minutes of slow piano, brushed drums and warm double bass, made as background music for planning, work, studying and long quiet hours on your own. 0:00 The Kotatsu Room 3:01 Kotatsu 5:54 Winter Quilt 9:07 Futon Edge 12:17 Tangerine 15:36 Long Week 18:35 Under the Quilt 22:04 One Lantern 25:19 Closed Shoji 28:12 Monday, Soon 31:30 Blank Notebook 34:43 Warm Feet 38:04 The List for Tomorrow 41:17 Slow Planning 44:27 Cold Outside 47:29 Peeling a Tangerine 50:41 One Day at a Time 53:50 Tatami at Night 56:48 Not Yet 59:56 Quiet House 1:02:54 Low Table 1:06:21 Five Days 1:09:42 Pencil Notes 1:13:09 Small Steps 1:16:11 Winter Light 1:19:10 Stay a Little Longer 1:22:32 The Week Will Wait 1:26:01 Soft Quilt 1:29:11 Breathing Room 1:32:23 Warm Corner 1:35:47 First Things First 1:39:05 Paper Lantern 1:42:17 Getting Ready 1:45:13 Late Evening 1:48:21 Almost Bedtime 1:51:29 Tomorrow's Shoes 1:54:37 Lights Low 1:57:45 Long Week, Good Start 2:00:30 One Last Tangerine 2:03:52 The Kotatsu 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 the night before a long week. One day at a time. 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. #slowjazz #kotatsu #focusmusic #mondaymotivation #japan
