1 x 1

"1×1" by Yukitaka Nagami
Pianist Yukitaka Nagami presents his new solo album 1×1, a unique project featuring seven multi-layered duet-style performances created entirely by the artist himself.

Using a variety of keyboard instruments - including acoustic piano, electric piano, celesta, and SUZUKI ANDES25F - Nagami recorded each part separately, layering them to craft rich, conversational textures. No metronome was used during the recording process, allowing natural tempo fluctuations and subtle phrasing to emerge organically.

The result is an intimate and immersive listening experience, where two voices seem to communicate with one another, though performed by a single artist. From delicate melodic interplay to intricate harmonic detail, 1×1 showcases Nagami's refined musical sensibility and deep connection to the piano.

Perfect for quiet moments, focused work, or reflective listening, 1×1 invites audiences to explore the beauty of layered expression and the quiet resonance of a truly personal sound world.
