quiet japanese jazz for deep focus — the desk you keep for yourself

Deep focus music for study and work — A writing desk in a formal Japanese room. An inkstone. One closed book. Nothing has been written. The tokonoma alcove is empty. The shelves are empty. Someone prepared this room to the highest standard and then left it alone. Beyond the glass, a moss garden. The light takes the whole hour to cross the tatami. MA is the Japanese word for the interval — the emptiness that gives shape to what surrounds it. This is an hour of that emptiness, built on deep bass, loose drifting percussion, and very little else. No traditional instruments on this one. A wordless voice on four tracks. This is a desk. You are probably sitting at one. For deep work, reading, studying, and the hour you keep for yourself. New music every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
