Product Description

This album, O by aus, was released in January 2026 via EM Records x FLAU. It features 10 tracks built around the koto, blending its distinctive plucked-string tones with electronic sound design, sustained synth textures, and carefully structured piano lines.

Koto performance is by Eden Okuno, whose nuanced touch shapes the album’s shifting attacks, resonant overtones, and fluid ambience. The package includes liner notes in Japanese and English, with cover design by Mugi Hashimoto and mastering by Makoto Oshiro.
