[Limited Edition Cassette Release] Inter-galactic Sonar Communication Probe Vol. 1
In 2022, as the world slowed under lockdown, an ambient label quietly began to take shape in Auroville, an international township in South India. Nādāsana was founded by Japanese artist Jyoti Naoki Eri (aka Atomic Phantom).
Its debut release was a conceptual compilation album inspired by NASA’s Golden Record. The year is 2102. Ambient music, loaded aboard an intergalactic sonic exploration satellite, leaves Earth’s atmosphere and ventures into the unknown. Against the backdrop of this imagined story, artists from around the world contributed their sounds to the project.
The lineup features Double Cushion (UK), the ambient alias of Matt Black, one of the founders of Ninja Tune and a member of Coldcut. Joining him from Europe are the magicians of modular synthesis: IDRA (Italy), Mikkel Rev (Norway), Per Barfot (Sweden), and Petit Oiseau (UK). The compilation also features Florigenix (Australia), Hakimonu (Israel), and Yidam and Psychopanda from India.
Now, the album arrives as a limited-edition cassette release through Life Riddim Outertainment, a Nagano-based creative platform that offers a lifestyle shaped by its longstanding contribution to snowboard culture. Reimagined as a continuous 60-minute mix, the cassette becomes a soundtrack for an inner intergalactic voyage—conceived and cultivated in India.

A Short Video “Still Here”
“Still Here” is my gratitude for the experiences in life, and art as a tool to express and give back to life. Life is profound and reveals its hidden self when we know that we know or own nothing. That is where we are born into a true reality.
— Jyoti Naoki Eri, March 2026

Interstellar Asteroid Beats – Vol.1
Article: MixMag Asia [HK]
Nādāsana is a new record label out of Auroville — the government-free township started by yogis and spiritual gurus Mirra Alfassa and Sri Aurobindo, and which is located partly in the state of Tamil Nadu and partly in the Union Territory of Pondicherry in India.
The label’s first release, ‘Inter-Galactic Sonor Communication Probe Vol.1’ is a conceptual output curated by label founder Jyoti Naoki Eri, and features ambient and experimental works from around the world.
The concept follows NASA’s Voyager project led by Carl Sagan on a sonic space probe mission to Messier 31, the Andromeda Galaxy, which is approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. Jyoti’s goal is to use this ambient curation “to establish contact with sensory conscious beings in outer space through sounds created on planet Earth.”
The release title resonates with the interstellar beliefs of Auroville residents and followers, who reside around the giant golden geodesic dome known as the “Matrimandir. It’s an awe-inspiring structure that exudes a cosmic presence, almost like a golden UFO waiting to take off. Essentially, it’s just a yoga hall, but in line with Nādāsana’s first release, we can pretend for a moment otherwise.
