16 excellent pieces of music echoing from a vacant concert hall.

The Tokyo-based pianist and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF, Films, Mizu Amane, and Cru, Yuki Murata, will release her 2nd concert album 'Piano Quartet Concert' on December 2nd, 2022.

This album was recorded in an concert hall where Yuki Murata played, not only on her piano solo but also as part of a quartet together with three string instrument players; Kumi Takahara on violin, Utaka Fujiwara from Anoice on viola, and Kaori Tsuchiya on cello, who all also joined Yuki Murata on her latest solo album, 'Sunny Spot Story'. They performed, centring around Yuki Murata's solo project songs as well as also two tracks from Anoice, to which she belongs, to create a concert album including excellent songs which sometimes make you feel a warm and gentle peacefulness, and sometimes a quiet and dark nervousness.

Takahiro Kido from Anoice took charge of the engineer for recording, mixing, and mastering. In addition, Tadashi Yoshikawa from Anoice directed the concert, and its video will be available to view with a full length on the following YouTube link at 8 pm Japan time on December 1st. Not to mention, Yuki Murata and Utaka Fujiwara who joined as the viola player, all the members of Anoice created this masterpiece together.

The freshest sound from Tokyo.

On November 4th, 2022, Anoice, an instrumental music band featuring a dark and cinematic sound, will release their first live album 'Concert in Tokyo 2022’; a recording of their whole concert held in Tokyo on October 14th, only on BandCamp.

During their performance, Anoice played, not only their representative songs such as 'liange' and 'finale' included in their past albums, but also tracks from singles and EPs such as 'nothing there' and 'inner voice'. Kenji Azuma, an ambient music artist who also forms the improvisation music project, Tokyo Ambient Collective together with members of Anoice, recorded the live performance within the atmosphere of the stage of the venue, allowing you to simulate the experience of Anoice's unique sounds changing from sometimes quiet and sad melancholy, to destructive and violent.

This live album will be available to download for free or “Name Your Price” only on the release day on BandCamp. The full concert video is available to view on YouTube. https://youtu.be/3fIarvoPziE

For those who were present at the venue, and those who were not, don't miss this precious experience.

Melancholy

Welcome to the fantastical world of forests! This song is instrumental. 

Actually, since recording the drums for "HANA" recently, I've been suffering from tendonitis around my left thumb, which has prevented me from playing the drums. I did my best to play and record the piano, guitar, and bass myself, but relied on MIDI for everything else. 

The first half of the song expresses the natural cuteness and warmth of the forest, while the second half expresses its overwhelming strength. 

I hope this song reaches someone's heart. Thank you so much for listening.
