This album captures the interplay of complex emotions and shifting sentiments through the expressive voice of the electric guitar. Each track title reflects these emotional landscapes, leaving interpretation open to the listener. I want to hear the diverse stories and perspectives of those who connect with the music, so I deliberately choose not to explain too much. However, my hope is that this work resonates with those standing at life’s crossroads, navigating moments of choice and change.

From a sonic perspective, this project began with an improvisational approach using loop pedals, aiming to translate raw emotions directly into sound. Breaking from my previous methods, I embraced a new process of improvisation and editing to explore uncharted sonic territories. The electric guitar was envisioned as a canvas for emotional textures, evoking sounds of stormy turbulence or the gentle caress of a breeze. I take pride in capturing these contrasting atmospheres, as well as in preserving certain elements—sounds I might have previously discarded—that now serve as essential layers in the composition.

Through this process, I found myself uncovering unexpected shifts in my own thoughts. Observing these subtle fluctuations at a slower pace often led me to new perspectives and ideas.

I’d love to hear what landscapes or emotions this piece evokes for you.

Mount Asama
amidst its fumes and ash
fresh young leaves!

by: Yosa Buson

The event Bosun refers to is the eruption of Mount Asama in 1783, which instantly killed over 1,000 people. The toxic ash traveled 100 miles to Edo, making farmland useless and causing many more people to starve.

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

Arpentant le ciel,
Une lune dégagée
Seule.

Walking the sky
a clear moon
all alone

Ogiwara Seisensui was a Japanese haiku poet active during the Taishō and Showa periods of Japan. He started the school of free haiku which made Ozaki Hōsai and Taneda Santoka popular. In 1911 Seisensui, with the support of Kawahigashi Hekigodo (1873-1937), founded the literary magazine Soun.
