This is the first solo work by Shinpei Ruike, a jazz trumpeter who is active across genres, in his career. From acoustic sounds that make the most of the instrument's beautiful tone to modern sounds with digital beats via a sampler, a variety of sounds are played in succession with gradations. The recording location was Taro Okamoto's atelier, which is preserved at the Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum, Tokyo, and it was recorded in one take, just like a live recording. This is a work that allows you to feel the rich expressiveness and further possibilities of the trumpet.
