“Tokyo 1” generously invites audiences through the archway of Emily A. Sprague’s new album Cloud Time, her third solo release for RVNG Intl, which compiles moments of improvised ambient performance documented during her fall 2024 tour in Japan. “Tokyo 1” channels the spirit of an inaugural tour stop, and in its peaks and valleys, cycles and drifts, rides the emotional arc of an evening that set up what Sprague says was “a profoundly healing and impactful journey.” Spacious and welcoming, “Tokyo 1” resounds with warm greetings, carried by attention, intention, and care.
