Starlight Healing

A piano story of stars and drowsy dreams, drawn by a traveling composer.
A healing album born to help you face the empty midnight sky and gently unwind your heart.

Traveling all across Japan in a camper van, KENSUKE, the "traveling composer," has been turning people he meets, landscapes he sees, and brief moments that stay in his chest into music.
The ten tracks on Starlight Healing are fragments of the night that he actually sat and sketched at real pianos along the way, carefully shaped with his own fingers and ears.
Rather than relying on random phrases, he polished each piece by feeling the distance between the notes, the breath, and the silence around them. The result is hand-crafted healing music whose delicate nuances convey the living warmth of the night.

On some tracks, the piano sketches grow into chamber versions, with a small ensemble gently wrapped around them.
As flute and strings breathe together with the piano, a single ray of light that suddenly pierced his journey rises into a three-dimensional soundscape. The slight fluctuations and warmth that can only be born from the shared breathing of live performers are clearly etched into these recordings.

Across the invisible sea of a star-filled night sky, a "boat of sound" appears from nowhere and slowly drifts by.
Where it is headed is not decided by the composer, but by you who are listening.
Instead of filling every space with notes, KENSUKE dares to leave room, so that your own imagination can enter and move freely within the music.

After walking alone down a night road where streetlights and starlight spill onto the ground, you return to your own bedside.
In the darkness after turning off the light, you find yourself searching for the presence of stars beyond the ceiling.
It is to this quiet time that everyone has, that this album gently keeps you company.

KENSUKE slowly unravels into sound the feeling of being rocked by unseen hands and falling asleep as if held by the starry sky itself.
Memories of childhood-of giving yourself to someone's song or a steady rhythm and drifting off without noticing-float up again.
The final track is written so that those memories can quietly return across the years.

This is a collection of night pieces, woven by a single traveling composer who chose each note by hand and checked it with his own ears, drawing on his journeys, memories, and emotions.
It can be background music for study or reading, a quiet companion for late-night hours alone, and a lullaby that softly wraps the last minutes before sleep.
May this album become a small constellation of music, shining gently in your night.
