tono vala can be described as a movement through the moods and emotions harvested by Jasper Boer & Michaël Jacobs: long time friends and Netherlands-based chillout ambient electronica composers who produce solo material as Jap Jap & Morgenfish. The collaboration brings together their love for epic warm electronic compositions and benefits from their personal experiences.

The record is a dramatic step up from both of their previous solo-albums, mixing little references of both ambient electronica styles as well as a great sense for composition and subtle arrangements that push the entire release into a gloriously dreamy realm that hovers somewhere between the music of Ulrich Schnauss, Manual, Orange Crush or Boards Of Canada and the quieter moments of Helios or Benn Jordan.
