Binaural Heart

Gaku Kano

Don't know why

Some people are searching for paradise

Coffee time

That's what I'm waiting for

I don't care. Everything will be fine

Sweetest time

Another time

I'm waiting

Don't know why

Some people are searching for

The meaning of life

Sweet donut time

That's what I'm waiting for

Big red shrimp and wine

As I'm waking up to this music in my mind

I'll let it overdrive

Hit the music. Play it so loud

I've got a binaural heart. I close my eyes

As I'm waiting sweet donut time

Life goes on in circles. Then it's alright

It feels like I'm in the music

There's nothing quite the same here

Don't know why

Some people are searching for

The meaning of life

Sweet donut time

That's what I'm waiting for

As I'm waking up to this music in my mind

I'll let it overdrive

Turn your tuning peg and unwind your broken heart

I'll let it overdrive

Hit the music play it so loud

Tell me your love

    Gaku Kano

This track, "Binaural Heart" centers on a pop-infused jazz sound while weaving in edgy breakbeats and elements inspired Indie Rock and more, Going beyond the boundaries of jazz, it boldly incorporates stylish elements from a wide range of genres. truly showcasing Gaku Kano's pursuit of "Experimental Jazz"

The song highlights include Jazz- and Neo Soul-inspired harmonies unfolding beneath mellow melodic lines, layered over energetic live drum grooves. Every synthesizer sound was played on analog hardware synthesizers, reflecting a strong dedication to sound quality and texture.

Even in today"s era of remarkable advances in AI music, this track values the uniquely human warmth and feel that only live performance can bring. The drums, analog synthesizers, vocoder, and other elements were recorded through real performances rather than programming, using live instruments.
