I lived in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture from 1989 to 1996. During the seven years I worked for a manufacturer of educational instruments, I taught, arranged, and wrote scores as a professional instructor throughout Japan. I learned a variety of techniques, but did not apply them to my own music. I consciously avoided becoming too familiar with them. All the songs written during this period have a somewhat distant look to them.The pretentious title of the album, "Windsor Knot," was a reminiscence of his days as an office worker who always wore a tie to work.
The album is divided into three parts. Tracks 1 to 6 depict a period of time when I was busy with work and lonely, tracks 7 to 11 depict a period of time when I was devastated by a broken heart, and tracks 12 to 18 depict a period of time until I met someone new and got married. In other words, I think this album is rich in variety, depicting me around the age of 30. I hope you will give it a listen.
My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 18 years from 1985 to 2002, I recorded about 150 songs that I recorded over multiple tracks by myself. I compiled these into eight albums and released them one after another in 2024. In 2025, instead of the anthology released the previous year, I will release an album that has been re-edited in chronological order. The first of these will be released on January 25th, titled "Windsor knot," which is a compilation of songs I created between 1989 and 1995, when I worked for a musical instrument manufacturer. It's an oldie but evergreen song that depicts a mixture of romanticism, cold-heartedness, and passion, as well as incoherent anxiety and longing for something that cannot be reached. Please listen to the variety of Sardine's songs.
