nocturnal jazz for people who can't unwind

QUIET ROOMS FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK ALONE A small incense room in an old house, late at night. One stick is lit on the low table and a single line of smoke goes straight up, because nothing in the room is moving. The work is done for today, or it can wait. Stay until the stick burns down. This is nocturnal jazz for people who can't unwind - 2 hours 17 minutes of slow piano, brushed drums and warm double bass, made as background music for studying, reading and long focused work on your own. 0:00 One Stick Lit 3:15 A Thin Line of Smoke 6:51 Bronze Burner 10:22 Low Lamp 13:59 Sandalwood 17:17 The Lacquer Table 21:11 Night Shoji 25:05 Fine Tools 28:42 Nothing Moving 32:00 The Small Box 35:09 Unhurried 38:02 Rising Straight 41:29 Warm Pool of Light 44:48 Work Can Wait 48:06 The Alcove 51:36 Bare Branch 54:56 Still Air 58:27 Slow Ember 1:02:29 Put Down the Pen 1:05:55 Grey Ash 1:09:29 Tatami at Night 1:13:00 Soft Smoke 1:16:27 Cooling Ash 1:19:57 Blue Window 1:23:21 Letting Go of Today 1:26:51 The Plain Scroll 1:30:24 A Long Exhale 1:33:43 Faint Haze 1:36:58 Folded Cloth 1:40:19 Late Hour 1:44:00 Nothing Left to Do 1:47:23 The Quiet Corner 1:50:37 Settling 1:53:55 The Stick Burns Down 1:57:24 Dim Room 2:00:31 Last Thread 2:03:50 After the Work 2:07:31 Lamp Turned Low 2:10:59 One More Minute 2:14:18 Lights Out 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 hour after the work stops, and evenings that take a while to settle. 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. #ambientjazz #focusmusic #deepwork #studymusic #japan
