An improvised piano album born from the sound journey "OTOHOKi 2024" in Tohoku, Japan.
Recorded on grand pianos in Yuza (Yamagata) and Lake Tazawa (Akita), this collection features seven carefully selected live performances.
Each piece unfolds with the air and atmosphere of the place, echoing the memories of earth and water.
The signature track "Houou (Blue Version)" was performed at the foot of the sacred Mt. Chōkai, near ŌmonoimiShrine in Yuza.
A soothing yet powerful musical journey by Tomo the Pianist, tracing the resonance between nature and sound.
