"A gentle prayer and a bit of melancholy lying quietly in ordinary life."
A solo piano album with an improvised performance covered in silence, and it depicts ordinary life as it is felt.
This album consisted of ambient-like piano pieces that focused more on texture and pauses than obvious melodies.
The minimally structured motifs tell a story gradually as if following the same notes repeatedly.
The works like emotional landscapes depicted with an abstract approach through improvisation are coincidentally filled with prayers, loneliness, and melancholy, like pale hopes in the gentle silence of real ordinary life.
