Untitled Valley Of Fear (2016)

Kei Yamazawa, Violoncello

Recorded live on April 13, 2017
Tiara Koto, Tokyo, Japan

Recording mastered by Yoshiaki Onishi

Written from August to October of 2015 as part of "Five Dialogues," project initiated by Anssi Karttunen, this work is dedicated to him. This work utlizes the clothespins attached to the strings, and this technique was first shown to me by Theresa Wong, composer and cellist while we were in the residency at Civitella Ranieri Foundation together. The "prepared sound" from this technique plays an important role in the development of the musical materials in this piece. Furthermore, the fact that the tuning of the instrument being identical to that of the Fifth Cello Suite by Johann Sebastian Bach is a way for me to pay tribute to the masterpiece; there is also a passage from the Sarabande of the Suite, encrypted and hidden within the piece.

"Seven Thoughts - Her Kind" - Excerpt

A collaboration sound project between composers and performers Frederik Croene (DSP and electronics) and Esther Venrooy (Piano and electronics). A very experimental and also an atmospheric album.

Truncate Retrograde

From 2009-2011 I visited China during the summer and meet with the amazing guqin player Wu Na. She inspired me to create this piece, based on our conversations, travelings in the countryside and walking in the streets of Beijing.
