When we look up to the sky, or leaves of a tree, we sometimes wonder how they reflect on our eyes still remains the same as they did in our childhood. Of course the colors of the sky change every moment, and so do the colors of trees as the seasons pass by, so they physically cannot stay the same as they were in our childhood. However, we might sometimes ask ourselves: would we recognize the same colors from the sky or the tree we look up to as what we recognized in our childhood, even if they physically stayed how they were?
DiceKEY Akhanev DUO's 2nd EP "Waiting for Spring" seeks to explore the relationship and connection between what we saw in our childhood and what we see now as grown-ups.
Shifting scenes from the melting icicles and other signs of spring that a child in a freezing Japanese village longed for, to a town fair in a small community in Georgia, filled with the sweet smells of cotton candies, and then to the splendor of the great Grand Canyon he would travel to as a grown-up, the set of 6 tunes explores the changing but un-altered spectrum of our "filters" through which we see the world.
Formed in 2014 in Tokyo by a composer/pianist Daiki Akahane and drummer/cajonist Takehito Katsuya, DiceKEY Akhanev DUO have sought to create acoustic music which maintains lyricism from the 20th century but also accommodates more "digitized" and punctuated rhythm feelings of the 21st century. Its music is based on jazz/fusion but encompasses a wider range of genres such as pops, Latino and classical music.
