4 Elements

The international songwriter Mayphy released a new album which contains a world of four stories, all of them full of originality.
Music and words are turned into a metaphorical concept of the four elements, "wind, fire, earth and water.

Mayphy composed three songs, "Healing, Perugia and Sagittarius".
The fourth one, "Quiet-Snow", is a waltz instrumental song composed by Akihiko Nakajima who is the bassist of Mayphy Quartet. It came into an exquisite collaboration with Mayphy's melancholic Japanese lyrics based on on the theme of water.
Healing is an attractive composition surrounded by a comfortable sound with the theme of "earth".
The theme of wind appears in "Perugia" and was written in the experience of performances at the Umbria Jazz Festival in 2008 and 2019. The recordings show the free world of improvisational jams and vocal.
The theme of the musical-style song "Sagittarius" is "Fire", and the songwriting also incorporates the playfulness of Sagittarius.

All songs are arranged by Mayphy Quartet. And this time, drummer Nobuyoshi Takahashi plays an immersive percussion and spiritual drums. Takanori Onda is a pianist who plays a light and delicate tone. He also involved into the The mix and mastering, making it an acoustic and lively album.
This unique album has been designed by Yann Le Gal.
Produced by Mayphy and Feelin'Soul Records.
