Marginalia #120

These daily piano recordings were made in my private studio surrounded by the mountains in Hyogo, Japan.
I opened all the windows to welcome the sounds of nature and played the piano without any sort of preparation : no overdubbing, no writing, no editing, no fixing...just as it is.
What you are listening to now are raw, improvised piano recordings
where the sounds of nature and the musical notes are recorded at the same time, in harmony without any discrimination.
I love to think that nature might also listen to my piano.

The nature is the melody.
The piano is the harmony.
