KITCHEN. LABEL presents haruka nakamura PIANO ENSEMBLE’s new album entitled “Hikari” in a special 2CD box set edition to be released on 8th August 2017. “Hikari” is the final set of the trilogy of albums (Ongaku No Aru Fuukei and CURTAIN CALL) to feature the current PIANO ENSEMBLE lineup before they go on a indefinite hiatus after their last show at the grand St Mary’s Cathedral in Tokyo on 21st July 2017.

Since the release of “Ongaku No Aru Fuukei” in 2014, haruka nakamura PIANO ENSEMBLE has held a tour with 17 concerts in Japan and 4 around Asia, with high profile and sold-out concerts at venues such at Memorial Cathedral of World Peace in Hiroshima, Meguro Persimmon Hall in Tokyo and Hyogo Performing Arts Center in Kobe among others. Recorded in late 2016 and early 2017, “Hikari” includes a new suite of pieces from evolved and fully-formed versions of the group’s favourites and also previously unrecorded items from its concert programs. The album’s repertoire is the ensemble’s most complete yet and documented at the peak of the ensemble’s form.

Part one of “Hikari” begins with music recorded once again at the acoustically profound sonorium hall in Tokyo. As ever, haruka nakamura’s attention to the purity and precision of each and every note is matched by counterparts ARAKI Shin (Saxophone and Flute), Akira Uchida (Saxophone), Rie Nemoto (Violin) and Isao Saito (Drums). haruka nakamura’s piano melodies might appear uncomplicated, but this transparency of sound creates a mesmerising cumulative effect with “SIN” representing the ensemble at its most buoyant.

Part two and the centrepiece of the album features 3 extended tracks recorded at Meguro Persimmon Hall (Tokyo), Waseda Scott Hall (Tokyo) and Lutheran Church (Fukuoka). 9-piece female choir group CANTUS, baobab and 14 year old vocalist Urara all took part in these recordings where the pieces “CURTAIN CALL” and title-track “Hikari” showcase the album’s collection of sacred hymns and spiritual high points. The ensemble is also joined by long time associate AOKI,Hayoto (Guitars & Harmonica) along with Hiroki Chiba (Contrabass), Sakanoshita Norimasa (Guitar) and Ami Misawa (Cello). The album ender and new piece “Todai”, thereby closing a divine circuit with its concluding distances. If music is meant to be a transporting experience, then the album “Hikari” is haruka nakamura PIANO ENSEMBLE at their transcendent and luminescent best.

This album is recorded by Katsunori Fukuoka (Flysound) and is mixed and mastered by Gen Tanabe (studio camel house). “Hikari” is packaged in a hardcase box and features a 36 page book containing exclusive photos, liner and composer’s notes (In Japanese). The album also includes a digital download for 2 bonus tracks Hajimari No Sanbika (Waseda Scott Hall) and Yuube No Inori (sonorium). Total runtime: 85 mins.

イギリス人1人宅録オーケストラDirectorsoundが前作より3年ぶりとなる、通算7枚目のアルバムをリリース！
はじめての子供の誕生に対する喜びと愛を綴った、穏やかでスウィートな箱庭アコースティック・シンフォニーによる、音のラブレター。

イギリス・ドーセット出身ロンドン在住のマルチ奏者ニック・パーマーによる音楽プロジェクト、ダイレクターサウンド。前作から3年ぶりとなる本作は、2016年8月に誕生したニックの初めての子供のために制作されたアルバムです。前作『Into the Night Blue』ではスウェーデンの音の魔術師 ”Musette”ことヨエル・ダネルらを迎えて録音しましたが、本作は再び1人オーケストラのスタイルで制作されました。
 
2016年の8月、ロンドンの病院で子供が無事に誕生した後、36時間寝てない状態だったニックは少し休憩しようと朝の5時頃に公園を散歩していました。その朝日が昇る中、このアルバムの最初のモチーフを思い浮かび、その後2年の月日をかけて子供のために作曲と録音を続けアルバムを完成させました。録音の作業は子供を起こさない様に夜遅い時間に行っていたそうです。
 
ギター、ピアノ、アコーディオン、バンジョー、ウクレレ、ツィター、オートハープ、ブズーキ、パーカッションなど、たくさんの生楽器を1人で演奏し（＊Ian Halfordがドラムで数曲参加。）、古いジャズや映画音楽、エキゾチカ、ハワイアン、フォークなどの要素が１曲の中に万華鏡のように混在するダイレクターサウンド特有の箱庭アコースティック・オーケストラ的サウンドとロマンチシズムは健在ながらも、今までよりもレイドバックした、穏やかでゆったりと流れる曲調の楽曲で構成されています。はじめての子供の誕生という複雑さも含む喜びの記録であり、もっとも特別な時間へ宛てたラブレターのような作品です。
 
日本国内のみCD化。
