Un'altra sera

These are two additional pre-release tracks from the upcoming album "Sound Temple: Sketches of My Heart".
Read the official album release statement below.
------
This work grew out of a series of sketches, born from a desire to give sound to what was in my heart and find a release. It is a work that could be called the "externalization of memory," and it is also a presentation of freedom to myself.
I used only one instrument: the piano, which feels closer to my body than any other instrument. Formally, it is a solo piano improvisation. Looking back, I feel that I was deeply choosing every note in each passing moment. In those times, I focused all my senses--fingertips, keys, the resonating sounds, ears, and the feedback to my fingertips--on outputting my heart. That said, it feels like it is just passing through.
In the end, the track order follows the exact order of the recordings, which were done between May 20 and June 6, 2026. Whenever I felt something in my heart and wanted to release it, I would face the piano with something of a few rules in my mind: keep that feeling gently in my heart, record from the very first note, and stop playing the moment I felt I had put it all out for now. If even a single note or word happened to take shape, I chose not to play.
As well as being precious treasures to me, I hope that sharing these pieces will bring new sights to these sketches, allowing me to find a sense of peace.
