Hi everyone and hope you’re having a great December so far! Today I’m super excited to finally release my 2nd album as Jabun – 15-4-20! Check out the album teaser video below:

And listen to and pick up Jabun’s 15-4-20 album now on Bandcamp:
https://jabun.bandcamp.com/album/15-4-20
15-4-20 is a one take per track live improvised ambient exploration and the first of its kind in my discography. The entire 33+ minute, 3 track album was recorded on the evening of April 15th 2020 with no overdubs or edits, just a single take for each track. I hope you enjoy the gently changing ambient soundscapes; a snapshot of an evening in lockdown during the strange spring of 2020!
In case you’ve not seen them yet, you can also check out the full album credits, special thanks and descriptions on the Jabun – 15-4-20 Bandcamp page! Read more below and I hope you have fun exploring:

And that’s it for this post! Now that Jabun’s 15-4-20 album is out, I’ll be uploading tracks from the album to YouTube and Newgrounds each Wednesday until mid January 2021, and no doubt be sharing other things in the mean time too! With such a big release, I’ll also be taking a short break from rewards to update the Patreon REWARD ARCHIVE posts, but I’ll be back with new rewards for the $5 & $10 patrons on the final Wednesday of January, and the first Wednesday of February for the $1 patrons! Until then I hope you have a great holiday season and enjoy the new music, and thanks as always for supporting Jabun, Better Than The Book and my various projects! More music to come next year! All the best, happy holidays and take care!

Reminds of summer. :) Pretty bright and uplifting stuff.
I like how it just gets brighter and brighter as it goes. Starts contemplative, like a sleepy morning glimpse at the cloudscapes the escape you but then... you start waking up; start appreciating; start seeing sunshine and color and all good that comes with the day...
It's a pretty cool natural progression. Wouldn't think it was really all one take!

Ah Cheers CD! Happy you enjoyed it and got those sentiments! Definitely feeling the cloudscapes vibes! Indeed each track was just one take! The whole album was a bit of a happy accident really XD Thought it'd be a shame to keep to myself ;P
