about

A follow-up single to “sobyo” EP which was released March 2022, “Magritte Sky” shows a different side of NRV.
Different? Actually, this is the first ambient track by Nerve before NRV project had started. This song was written in 2020
after a video chat conversation with his friend in Belgium during the pandemic lockdown period. In the midst of the
stagnant situation, the short conversation gave Nerve strong image of "some place other than here," and a certain sense
of hope, and even salvation. The structure and sound of "Magritte Sky" is closer to the recent works of antennasia, an
electronic alternative pop group which Nerve has worked with the vocalist, san, for more than 20 years, rather than to
any work he produced under the name NRV. Just prior to the creation of "Magritte Sky," he had been working on
antennasia's "Papier-Mâché "(2020) which incorporates elements of late 70s/early 80s synth-pop/post-punk. Also, there
seems to be an influence from some Japanese ambient such as Hiroshi Yoshimura, Yasuaki Shimizu and Inoyama Land.
This missing-link song encompasses a beat, and it has a shimmering sound, even a vocal (through the vocal synth) with
lyrics. His change of mind may be behind the release of this transitional piece. Will there be a continuation of this
direction? The answer is perhaps blowing in the light blue sky. “Magritte Sky” is scheduled for release 28th of April on the
San Francisco based label Tabula Rasa Records.

NRV is the drone/ambient project by Sendai-based musician Nerve (antennasia/Jai Machine). The impetus behind NRV lies in a soft simplicity — inspired by everyday life and places, giving rise to emotional spaces. The project started in the lockdown summer of 2020, where he was able to take his time trying out various approaches and sonic experiments, ultimately forging his sonic identity. ... more
