¡Kumokaze
¡Yumi Nanatsutani + Yasuko Hokkyo
Description
[Machine Translation] This is a chance encounter between pianist Yumi Nanattani, who possesses a unique and profound tone, and viola player Yasuko Hohashi, who is known for her wide range of activities, including guest appearances with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra and other classical orchestras, and collaborations with Masakatsu Takagi, Joji Sawada, and Mina Kubota. Yumi Nanatani's original compositions, which she had previously expressed in her own microcosm as a solo piano player, are now joined by Yasuko Hohashi's viola, with its deep tone and range, and delicate sense of volume, to create new melodies and harmonies with a limpid beauty. Every time the two instruments overlap, a fresh sound as if a completely new single instrument is born. M1 evokes the image of fresh greenery, M2 is a dream of a hotel on a rice terrace in Bali, M5 is filled with thoughts of Maria Callas, M7 is inspired by an old boulder, and M9 is like the light falling on the leaves of a plant. The recording technique that even the scent of wood can be smelled, and the sounds of rivers in Hakusu, Yamanashi Prefecture, and Okinoshima Island, Fukuoka Prefecture, are added to this exquisite quiet music that evokes not only clouds and wind but also various other images.
