[ Until the White Veil Awakens ]
As one walks through the silent, early-morning forest-still lingering in the remnants of the night-a morning mist rises from the ground, gently enfolding everything in a white veil. Before long, the sun-not yet visible-warms the air, tinting it a faint, rosy hue as the first, subtle breath of daylight begins to permeate the scene. Then comes the moment of sunrise, as the sun ascends powerfully into the sky. In that very instant, the world undergoes a dramatic transformation: the white veil shifts into one of gold, and the landscape becomes filled with a dazzling, ethereal light.
This piece was born from an impromptu improvisation, sparked by an introduction that arrived quite suddenly just before the recording session. The scene it depicts-a rare spectacle that might occur only once a year in the forest where the artist resides-serves to herald the arrival of morning with a unique, atmospheric quality on her first album, "Garden", which traces the passage of time throughout the day. The chime-like sounds of this mystical moment resonate much like the bells of countless churches across a European town, ringing out to bless the beginning of a new day.
The opening vocals-a deep, languid resonance that seems to carry the morning mist with it. With that single note-a striking departure from the delicate, crystalline quality for which her voice is known-this story quietly begins to unfold.
Ayano Tachihara Vocal Artist / Composer Since childhood, Ayano Tachihara has cherished the melodies that resonate within the stillness of her soul. Living amidst the lush forests of Karuizawa, Shinshu, she has spent fifteen years listening to the breath of the forest, nurturing her musical expression through a life lived in harmony with nature. In 2019, she began performing her original compositions, often incorporating improvisation. Driven by the conviction that "the resonance of the moment is the purest form of music," she focused exclusively on live performance, as if waiting for the perfect moment to ripen. To preserve these vibrations, she eventually invited world-renowned recording engineer Seigen Ono to her creative base to embark on her first recording. Her music, characterized by a voice that blends crystalline delicacy with profound, dignified strength and tranquil piano melodies, supplely aligns the atmosphere of a space while lighting a warm glow in the hearts of listeners. At the onset of Spring 2026, she finally releases her first digital recording, The Call (Izanai). This pure first cry, echoing from amidst the winter snow, travels across the world to bring a small light of spring. Her true journey has finally begun.
