Solo Piano - Chris Bright

arrive in time

This is the 15th track and a sentimental piano song which Yuki put her feelings for the summer past, included in '24 Piano Sketches' that is a new solo album from Yuki Murata, the Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films.

As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. This long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.

This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.

The photos taken by her bandmate of Anoice, Takahiro Kido, on his Polaroid camera every season, are adopted as the cover images of each single, and they will added together with the songs to the following BandCamp page every time a single is released.

You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.

Lyrics:

If we're not one then let's be water,
If we're not flowing we're not real.
I love your colour when you falter,
You're glowing sapphire in the steel.

Step out your world and drape it round me,
I'll slide my arms through what's undone.
We are the could and would and should be,
Where rivers blush under the sun.
Where rivers blush under the sun.

And be that as it may, still, still...
There's something inexplicable
In finding all of me could be all of you.

Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak
And listen...

I lost the girl in me but caught her,
Your boy was tired of everyone.
They bound together in the water
And shimmered silver in the sun.

If We're Not One Then Let's Be Water (Nic Evennett and Classical Glass as Cellar Door)

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
