[A Cry of Symbiosis: Ayano Tachihara Breaks 15 Years of Silence from a Sanctuary in the Woods]
For fifteen years, musician and vocalist Ayano Tachihara has dedicated herself to the restoration of a once-forgotten forest, seeking a way for nature and humanity to exist in sacred harmony. The true birth of her musical journey began the moment she moved a grand piano into the "Stables' Music Hall," a sanctuary she hand-built within this revitalized wilderness.
Long-awaited and deeply contemplative, this debut work was recorded under the guidance of renowned engineer Seigen Ono. Captured amidst the profound stillness of a snowy day, the music breathes with the forest itself. Her crystalline vocals -delivered in a "constructed language" devoid of literal meaning -resonate with the laws of nature, inviting listeners into the depths of a transcendent consciousness.
Released on February 4th, 2026 -the auspicious day of Risshun (the beginning of spring) -this is the first "Call" sent out to the world from a land nurtured over fifteen long years. It is a primal exploration of resonance, marking the arrival of an artist who has truly found her path in coexistence with the earth.
Ayano Tachihara Vocal Artist / Composer Since childhood, Ayano Tachihara has cherished the melodies that resonate within the stillness of her soul. Living amidst the lush forests of Karuizawa, Shinshu, she has spent fifteen years listening to the breath of the forest, nurturing her musical expression through a life lived in harmony with nature. In 2019, she began performing her original compositions, often incorporating improvisation. Driven by the conviction that "the resonance of the moment is the purest form of music," she focused exclusively on live performance, as if waiting for the perfect moment to ripen. To preserve these vibrations, she eventually invited world-renowned recording engineer Seigen Ono to her creative base to embark on her first recording. Her music, characterized by a voice that blends crystalline delicacy with profound, dignified strength and tranquil piano melodies, supplely aligns the atmosphere of a space while lighting a warm glow in the hearts of listeners. At the onset of Spring 2026, she finally releases her first digital recording, The Call (Izanai). This pure first cry, echoing from amidst the winter snow, travels across the world to bring a small light of spring. Her true journey has finally begun.
