About the city I loved. Kobe, Hyogo, Japan

My Lost City - Sample

FULL - https://hshirptsubaki.bandcamp.com/album/snow-silence

My father's hometown is an area with a lot of snow, and I spent some time there in the winter when I was a child.
It was then that I first experienced the feeling of silence when it snowed.

That sense of silence as I walked through the falling snow may have been the catalyst for my current work in ambient music.

This music is dedicated to those snowy, beloved winter nights.

Snow / Silence - Sample

Murmet [part 1]

“Leaving together, Leaving apart” is one of 6 pieces I recorded using my 8th mosesa
In November 2018. I have since made several other models,, but recently rediscovered this album in my files.

It anticipates many things that I am doing currently, namely playing and responding to overtones and instrument body resonances. Tuning is by ear as well as all playing. I tuned the instrument to resonate with my wishes when playing.

The mosesa 8 is composed to 2 guitar strings, a cello bridge resting on a thin, patched and pressed wooden bowl. I used a DPA microphone, external guitar pedals and internal Logic Pro filters to create the sound that you hear.

The emotional background for these pieces, “Leaving together, Leaving apart” was the coming and goings between myself and one of my children of college age. I felt so much joy at being together, then sorrow with leaving.
The music is not illustrative, and I think focuses mostly on the joy of relating each moment with another.

Happy New Year and enjoy!
