about

An album dedicated to traditional Japanese music.
Musics recorded at 432Hz.
I’ve been an enthusiast of Japanese music, the traditional one, for many years and I listen to it regularly – at least, those forms of it that I can understand. In studying the Japanese musical system, I realized that the emotions I felt were similar to those I wanted to put into an album. Then I came to the difficult decision to use only a typically Japanese sounds. I thought that this would reduce considerably the expressive possibilities available to me, but I soon realized that this was really the way I wanted to follow. The challenge was to let the initial composed sounds suggest other new ones spontaneously. I lived, and still live, each song like a meditation on the sensations created by these sounds.
