“As I sit here
Waiting and wanting
Surrounded by the ambient blur of the city lights
Waiting at a stop sign
Wanting to go beyond.”


It is exactly this longing to go beyond, beyond the solitary musical journey, that brought these two very gifted artists from Kyoto to cross each other’s’ paths. Marihiko Hara and Masumi Muranaka (Polar M), the 2 seasoned musicians from Kyoto, after 10 years of admiring each other works, decided to take on a voyage together, and sailed beyond the charted territories of their music. And thus, the beautiful result from this wonderful voyage - a special collaboration album entitled “Beyond”, was born.

In this album, both artists went beyond their own borders, over their perceived views, across existing ideas and ways of thinking, to allow their emotions to flow freely in the music making process. As a result, Marihiko, with his gorgeous piano touches, and Masumi, with his heart-felt guitars, jointly crafted the 10 delicate, and breath-takingly beautiful music pieces.

Traces of elegant post-classical, sweet-sounding folktronica, dreamy ambient, and even blue-ish jazz, can be found in this sound-rich album, with all elements masterfully blended together to create an exquisite music listening experience. Piano melodies that drifted in like fireflies at night, layers of guitars that painted the backdrop soundscapes, drips of tiny electronics, spaces between the notes…. The exquisiteness in music that created by Marihiko and Masumi’s wonderful talents are simply beyond words.

Mia Cabalfin, the renowned contemporary dancer from Philippines, who befriended the artists when they composed the music for her residency performance in Kyoto in 2012, lent her beautiful voice in spoken words for 3 amazing tracks. The album is mastered by Tokyo’s renowned musician and sound engineer, Chihei Hatakeyama, and features photos by prominent Japanese photographer Marisa Shimamoto, and designs by Itsuka Sato of sonihouse.

Forest for the Trees

champignons

一間間的小屋 流動的車輛 灰灰的天空
裡面都住著人 開著車的你們 天就快要下雨

我躲在這裡 想著生活 到底想要給我們什麼東西
我躲在這裡 想著你們 為什麼都在那麼遙遠的距離

喂 你說 怎麼都在失眠的夜裡 忽然睡去
卻惡夢連連的驚醒 驚醒

靜止的山脈 流動的生命 變化的天空
靜止的樹林 慢動作地在搖曳 是風在遊戲
我走在這巷子裡 聽著那旋律 怎麼世界忽然像在跳舞
我遊走在都市裡 繁忙的街道 我怎麼都感受不到你 感受不到你

喂 你說 要不要一起去旅行
你說生活 為什麼那麼壓力
讓你透不過氣 讓你透不過氣
喂 你說 怎麼都在失眠的夜裡 忽然睡去
卻惡夢連連的驚醒

喂 你說 要不要一起去旅行
你說生活 為什麼那麼壓力
讓你透不過氣 讓你透不過氣

[Translated Lyrics (original: Mandarin)]

HERE/THERE

A small house, one after another, moving vehicles, a gray sky.
Inside, people live, and you who are driving, it's about to rain.

I hide here, thinking about life, what exactly does it want to give us?
I hide here, thinking about all of you, why is everyone so far away?

Hey, you say, why is it that in sleepless nights, suddenly falling asleep,
Only to be awakened by nightmares, again and again, awakened.

Still mountains, flowing life, changing sky.
Still forests, swaying in slow motion, it's the wind playing.
I walk in this alley, listening to that melody, why does the world suddenly feel like dancing?
I wander in the city, busy streets, why can't I feel you, can't feel you at all?

Hey, you say, how about traveling together?
You say life, why is it so stressful,
Making it hard for you to breathe, making it hard for you to breathe.
Hey, you say, why is it that in sleepless nights, suddenly falling asleep,
Only to be awakened by nightmares, again and again.

Hey, you say, how about traveling together?
You say life, why is it so stressful,
Making it hard for you to breathe, making it hard for you to breathe.

Two years have been passed since Dae Kim’s debut effort, "Solace", was released. In need of diversion, he drew attention to circumstances that was unusual to his forte, ranging from producing for singer-songwriters to several yet to be released projects. The exploration, in which allowed him to diversify and improve his compositional ability and musicianship that obeys electro-acoustic driven solo efforts, ended with Dae’s latest single, Clemency (Memoir Music label). To embellish his carefully curated discography, he returns with the latest EP entitled, “Redemption”.

To quote Dae, “Three months of grieve and isolation has gifted me with three beautiful songs. They were two years more mature and wiser than my debut album. A work that held its obedience to the writer’s instinct holds honesty, that is incomparable. I proudly present the EP with full ride and confidence, and that there are nothing more to change and polish. I won’t touch even a single note”.

This EP was mastered by Tokyo renowned mastering engineer / recording artist Chihei Hatakeyama.
