1 : SIDE A
"passing" (original tune / November , 2024) 5:12
*program note*
This is a new arrangement of the accordion piece "Nagare" that was composed in 2017 and has been performed live unplugged as an accordion soloist and as a duo with an oboe, and "Rinne", a song composed as a collage of environmental sounds from various scenes.
The original song "Nagare" is inspired by cherry blossoms and is imbued with the beauty of the passage of time. I hope you will listen to it and let your imagination run wild with the environmental sounds from various scenes.

*program note*
First the sound of a river and a melody with a chorus-like quality came to me. After matching them together, I listened carefully to the harmony and overtones that emerged from there,
and created guitar-based sounds to match part of the harmony.
It feels like listening to pure "sound" as a harmony amongst environmental sounds.
When creating from sampled sounds, I create with the image of outputting the comfortable physical experience of listening to it at the time.
The river sound in this case was sampled from a video of a river deep in the mountains where few people go.
