This series of ambient music is specifically composed and produced by Ingo Ito for those listeners, who want to create for themselves an atmosphere of tranquility – ideal for contemplation and meditation or just relaxing from the daily rush.

In Zen Hanami, each piece of music is sculptured by some distinctive musical loops playing in harmony. A pool of sound - repeated like an endless mantra. But with each loop having its individual length, it is a constantly changing soundscape - it seems the same, but it´s always different.

The japanese word "Hanami" literally means "flower viewing". Since many centuries it has been the traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers in nature, mainly during the cherry blossom season.

An ocean of blossoms, gently moving in the spring wind -
a beautiful picture to accompany the music.

The albums in the 'Volume' series are based on a specific theme:
Volume 1 started successfully in 2007 and reflects the progressing stages during a day from morning to nightfall.

Volume 2 leads the listener through an imaginary world of gardens - an ideal place for contemplation and thoughtfulness.

Volume 3, the latest album, takes the listener on a journey through a moonlit night - full of atmospheric sounds and unknown spheres.

The 'Reflection' series present re-arranged and re-mixed short versions of the original 15 minutes tracks of the 'Volume' albums. Reflection 1 contains all songs from Volume 1 & 2 in new shape.
