Introducing Martin Martyn, the new collaborative project by Hideyuki Hashimoto and Yuri Kawai, who merge piano-driven melodies with modern electronica. Their latest track, "oden", serves as the lead single from their upcoming EP, "X", a masterful blend of piano, synthesizers, and simple beats that oscillate between groovy and ambient.
"oden" showcases Martin Martyn's ability to create an emotional soundscape, where classical piano meets subtle electronic textures. The track builds slowly, offering moments of deep introspection with delicate keys and lush synths, then subtly shifts into a more rhythmic groove. It’s a journey that feels both cinematic and deeply personal, reflecting influences from artists like Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm. This comes as no surprise, with the EP being mastered by Zino Mikorey Mastering Berlin, known for his work with these very artists.
Martin Martyn’s previous work, "Entraide", was featured on the OPIA Compilation 001 curated by Ólafur Arnalds, solidifying their place in the modern ambient-electronica scene. As they prepare to release EP "X" in February 2025, "oden" sets the tone for what’s to come—a harmonious blend of emotion, groove, and sonic exploration.
If you’re a fan of minimalistic electronica, ambient piano pieces, and artists like Nils Frahm or Ryuichi Sakamoto, Martin Martyn’s music will resonate deeply.
