Johatsu: (Japanese: 蒸発, lit. "evaporation") refers to the people in Japan who purposely vanish from their established lives without a trace.

Johatsu’s music takes inspiration from contemporary composers like Nils Framh, Olafur Arnalds, Max Cooper, and Thom Yorke, to create their own brand of ambient and ethereal piano pieces. Against the blurred backdrop of an accelerating modern world. Johatsu invites the listener to step back from the tumult of social media feeds and partisan politics. To stare into the proverbial middle distance and immerse themselves in a sea of swooning violin strings, and yearning piano chords. A textured and emotive soundtrack for the pensive and introspective, as they viscerally experience the real world outside of their smartphone screens.
