A Name Beneath the Quiet Pain

Shota Mizuguchi's first solo piano work.
Giving a name to hidden pain whose origins even we cannot understand.
Tracing its contours, and drawing a boundary around it.
Caring for others and one's own manic-depressive states.
Projection and dependency.
Independence, and the identity at its core.
Placing oneself quietly among these shifting tensions,
and turning inward to look closely at oneself.
