Kauan – Wayhome, CD

DIGICD.  2025年新专辑！

《Wayhome》是Kauan迄今为止最具雄心的作品。它本质上是一首50分钟的歌曲，为了方便现代听众，被分成了八首曲目。这张专辑致力于展现旅程，既有字面意义上的，也有精神意义上的。“路”和“家”可以被解读成不同的意义，一个人可以在久别重逢后重返家园，也可以只是试图解决内心的问题，克服障碍，重生，甚至死亡。

《Wayhome》的视觉概念围绕着通过织物和布料讲述的旅程展开。它以纯净、未经触碰的白色开场。随着专辑的展开，布料开始磨损：被染色、烧焦、拉伸和撕裂。在最后一首曲目中，布料变得面目全非——它所经历的一切改变了它的样子。

除了LP、CD和流媒体等常见格式外，《Wayhome》还将在Apple Music上提供杜比全景声（Dolby Atmos）格式，这是一种营造三维体验的空间音频格式，可带来最佳聆听体验。专辑完全采用96Khz制作。

Deluxe CD Digipak Edition of Wayhome, the most ambitious production to date from Helsinki-based KAUAN.

Wayhome is Kauan's most ambitious production to date. It’s fully produced in 96Khz, contains a 22-piece choir and an endless number of synth and fx layers, and utilizes 1,000 tracks at its peak, maxing out Logic Pro's multitrack limit. Because of this, the production faced many curious issues from the software’s stability side, numerous technical bugs, and other issues.

Wayhome is essentially one 50-minute song. It’s divided into eight tracks for the modern listener’s convenience.

The album is dedicated to journeys in both literal and mental senses. Both “way” and “home” can be interpreted differently, as one can return home after a long absence or just try to solve an inner problem, overcome an obstacle, be reborn, or even die.

Besides all the ordinary formats from LPs, CDs and streaming, Wayhome will be available on Apple Music in Dolby Atmos, a spatial audio format for optimal listening that creates a three-dimensional experience.

Wayhome’s visual concept themed around the journey told through fabric and cloth. It begins with pure, untouched white. As the album unfolds, the fabric begins to wear: stained, burned, stretched, and torn. By the final track, the cloth is unrecognizable—transformed by everything it’s endured.
