What is the name of your latest release?

Foretold

What was the inspiration for that release?

In my newest album Foretold, I used different recording techniques (sometimes along with my designed synthesizer) to create a fresh, calm, and magical atmosphere. Later, it shifts to something darker and more mystical: https://trangtraitraicay.bandcamp.com/album/foretold

The album features:

Ambient tracks
Free improvised tracks
Field recording tracks
Hybrid field recording tracks

All of the tracks were freely improvised (except for the 3rd track). They have diverse textures, so I promise if you have time to listen to the whole album, it won't be boring. It has a story!

If you love my music, please visit the mighty Ingrown Records Bandcamp. A lot of great artists are there. Try the albums named Sacred Spell and Reverie.

What challenges or unexpected moments did you encounter during the writing/recording process?

I'm trying to ensure that my album doesn't have the same texture throughout, so it doesn't become boring if listened to in its entirety.

To appear on every music review blog

I don't know to be honest, maybe release more music if I can
