Although I am a jazz pianist, in order to express myself, I look to my surroundings in order to get hints that go beyond jazz and classical music theory and the fixed rhythms played around the world. I have immersed myself in nature, observed it, and tried to perform it.
This trio's recordings incorporate numerous hints from the nature of Kamakura, and Shimokawa, Hokkaido, into their performances.
Usually, I use these hints to improvise in jazz bands as my own playing style, but here I threw away general harmonies and rhythms and played the piano, double bass, and drums by myself, based on the playing style given to me by nature. I'm playing.
I think you can probably see here and there the unique ``ma'' and ``sensitivity toward nature'' that Japanese people have.
It has become an important album for me as Danto. Please feel free to listen to it, and I hope it connects to something for you.

Artist Profile

  • Danto

    I live in the northern part of Hokkaido, Japan, and spend my days composing music, playing in a jazz band, and holding musical workshops for the townspeople. Yamame trout swim in the river in the town where I live, and deer, foxes, and rabbits pass by my house. You can even meet bears if you walk a little bit. I would like to express spontaneously musically all the scenes that I feel from the animals that live close to me and the overwhelming workings of Mother Nature. I hope it touches someone's heart.
