Forest, Sea, Harmony

Sado Island, Japan-based composer Nozomu Sato's solo project "plantar" will release a mini-album "Forest, Sea, Harmony". The album is a suite of chamber music for piano, alto saxophone, and bass clarinet, and examines the connection between himself and the environment of Sado Island. On Sado Island, Shinto rituals such as Noh and Onidaiko are an integral part of daily life, and Harmony incorporates this cultural background and the blessings he receives from the rich natural environment into his compositions. Although introspective and serious in style, this work should be accepted as if you were listening to an instrumental piece on a pop album.
