The art and animation of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are so highly esteemed, so well loved, and so deeply respected that his magical world, ever so exquisitely touching and sadly nostalgic, has become like a religion of its own. Many of my friends grew up watching his films, shedding tears over their tender melancholy and the gut wrenching truths that he profoundly weaves into his timeless stories. Those same friends, and so many of you, I’m sure, will love what Grammy nominated Australian musician and producer Andrei Eremin is doing under his new project name Ghosting. ‘One Summer「 Spirited Away 」’ is the first taste of an expansive body of work he’s been creating, a mixtape named Reimagining Miyazaki which fuses the ethereal sounds of films like Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso, and more with the mellow entrancing, supple enchanting vibes of downtempo electronica and hip hop. On top of that, Eremin has put together a beautiful video for the first track from his mixtape, forged out of actual Miyazaki clips. Re-visit some gorgeous Miyazaki moments while you drift away to his dreamy meditative composition. The full Reimagining Miyazaki mixtape will be out on May 12th via Wondercore Island.
