"vinyl" is the 3rd full album and the first in about 3 years by km:, a musician living in Osaka, Japan. The album contains 7 songs, each of which realises a concept using experimental elements using classical guitars, casiotones, music boxes, cassette tapes, noises and field-recoded sounds with the artist’s own unique texture.

1. font 09:58
This song is made from multitracks recorded on cassette tapes. You can enjoy some changes of the sound and the added noises through it being recorded on cassette tapes and the random effect of different overlapping loop length sounds.
2. movie 04:50
I made a song like the trailer of a non-existent movie because I like how they are condensed, summarized and captivating.
3. bag 10:45
I think a sound layer of classical guitars again.
4. base 06:00
I only used the base noises on inputs of some musical equipment. Basically the signals are recognized as “no input”. So I think it is interesting if I make song with the “no input” sounds. In addition, it sounds like a sound of waves by chance.
5. day 10:05
I only used the common 12th fret, 5th fret and 7th fret harmonic tones of a guitar. In addition, I arranged the sounds using a certain rule. Please enjoy the coincidental and unintentional melody arising from the rule.
6. phase 08:00
If you listen to this song on earphones / headphones, it's ok. But if you listen to it on speakers in the best position, it doesn’t work. I intended to make this song like that.
7. stereo 09:52
I separated L / R sounds of this song completely. So you can not share this song with your friend using one earphone each.'
