Message from the Oasis — After the Dream is an ambient work in which Takashi Kokubo renders the boundary between dream and reality through sound. Centered on the lingering “echoes of dreams” that hover just before awakening, soft waves of synthesizer and fragile melodies evoke inner landscapes long asleep within the listener.

The sound drifts calmly, mirroring the wavering consciousness that returns to reality. Subtle field recordings overlap like distant memories, guiding the listener into a realm of quiet afterglow.

As the closing chapter of the series, this album symbolizes the dream as an “unconscious oasis.” Between waking and forgetting, sound purifies the heart and gently illuminates lost fragments of emotion.

After the Dream — an album not to continue the dream, but to listen to the new silence that arises from its afterglow.
