Sonnet in Autumn Sky

otoa presents the instrumental album Autumn Sky Sonnet, a duo performance of harp and flute. Joined by longtime friend and flutist akiko, this collection of sonic poems is born from their intimate dialogue.

The crisp, clear air; the trees washed in golden hues; a gentle, warm sunbeam; and the quietly deepening night. This album gathers these fleeting yet beautiful moments of the passing autumn, depicting them as a sonic landscape.

The transparent tone of akiko's flute evokes the endless sky, while the delicate arpeggios of totoa's harp recall dappled sunlight and twinkling stars. Nestling close and at times overlapping, the two voices paint a warm scene within the listener's heart.

Like turning the pages of a book, this album allows you to feel the changing of the season. It offers a rich and tranquil moment to step away from the busy everyday and immerse yourself in a world of soothing sound.

totoa is also known for activities that reflect a warm compassion for all living things, such as performing at welfare facilities and cat cafes. The universal gentleness flowing through this work is born from these everyday activities.
