The sound of the wind that echoes into the moon.

This is the third collaborative work, and the second EP, by Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata, music composers who also are active as members of Anoice, RiLF, and Films, and ambient music artist, Kenji Azuma, who plays a range of unusual instruments.

The first single 'Ice Mermaid' featured the sounds of an ice and water and their first EP, 'Memories of the Stone' used the sounds of a stone and limestone cave. This time the trio chose the wind element as the theme of the sound for this EP. Just like their previous works, the illustrator, MATSURICA who also takes charge of the artwork for some of the releases from Anoice, Yuki Murata, and Films, painted the beautiful cover in tandem with the music production and each song included in this EP expresses four scenes; from a desolate desert into a lush greenery grassland, a noisy caravan passing by the oasis, a propeller airship flying from the grassland to sky with many birds, and the night flight toward the moon, by the colorful sound.

Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata created the base of each song with their instruments such as a piano, guitar, synthesizer, marimba, and vibraphone, and then Kenji Azuma added his performance on wind instruments from around the world such as futujara from Slovakia, wot from Thailand, Khlui Lib from Thailand, Khene from Thailand and Laos, and bawu from China, Thailand and Vietnam. You should be able to feel 'wind' that is the theme of this EP from the fantastic, dream-like, and exotic sound. Also, string players and a percussionist including Utaka Fujiwara and Tadashi Yoshikawa who are members of Anoice, joined. Their collective support touts this EP to be the most spectacular work in this trio's releases.

Enjoy the lovely and fairytale-like painting together with the music.
