"Listen to new Tomotsugu Nakamura's album is a similar experience to contemplate a delicate object: a box of carved wood, a collage, a diadem. Each sound is worked with love and mastery. This music is full of wonder" - Federico Durand

Strike Our Scythes

"that friendship that is so easy and fun, secure and trusting - realizing that it IS something special and is not easy to find. " ~ SheRocks

As You Are With Me is a bittersweet salute to a friendship that felt like forever—but wasn’t. Written on August 15, 2009, it honors that rare connection that’s easy, honest, and deeply cherished.

“I hope you find someone to feel secure with… laugh the way you do with me… be you with, as you are with me.” These lyrics capture the ache of letting go, even when you wish things had a different ending.

This song holds space for those cherished connections that define us—even in goodbye, they leave us stronger.

~~~ As You Are With Me ~~~

I hope I find
Someone that makes me feel secure
Like I feel with you
Makes me laugh
The way I laugh with you
Someone to share me with
Like I hoped with you

You keep searching
I've done all could
You can't see what is good
Now I have to say goodbye to you
Didn't want it to end this way
Never wanted to see the day
When I would say

I hope you find
Someone to feel secure with
Like you feel with me
Someone to laugh with
The way you do with me
To be you with
As you are with me

Cheers to the years
That we've shared up til now
To the memories we've made
It's time to throw in the towel
But each night I'll pray
That you find her
The one we almost were

You'll never feel as secure with her
Like you feel with me
You'll never laugh with her
The way you do with me
You'll never be you with her
As you are with me

As You Are With Me

Shunichiro Fujimoto “Rejoice”

I wake up in the morning, and place the score on the stand.
I open the keyboard lid and practice as always.
As soon as my fingers feel right, I take a deep breath and place my fingers on the keys once again.
Just as the musicians did in the old days.
Composing music starts every morning in this simple way.
Connecting to the piano.
Everyday repeats itself.
Playing until you find the perfect chord and scale.
The score which was made through many inspirations and revisions, reveals the time with the piano.
Traditionally made music that no one has heard.
The main theme of this album is “forfeiture”.
Rising up from a loss and moving towards accepting the present state.
What is here is not the past, but something for the present, rejoice.
The sound of the wood creaking and the sound of the player breathing.
The gentle sound of the piano strings resonating with each other.
It is almost as if it were midnight, creating a calm world of shadows.
45 minutes of a tranquil midnight.
Enjoy the music.

This song is LIVE version.

http://flau.jp/releases/plays-eight-compositions/

ensemble 0 is a band who plays the compositions by its members and music by other living composers. The members can change according to each project. The founding members live in France (Joël Merah), Spain (Stéphane Garin) and Belgium (Sylvain Chauveau), with a rotating set of musicians from Western Europe. In 2016 a section of ensemble 0 has been created in Brussels featuring Florent Garnier, Jean-François Brohée, and Chauveau. This trio has spent one and a half year composing new acoustic pieces, playing them live, recording and mixing them. This is the music for this album on flau: 8 tracks with percussion, harmonium, ebows and guitar, with the addition of Thomas Jean Henri (aka Cabane) and Antoine Pasqualini (aka Monolithe Noir) as guests.

The original idea of the Brussels section of ensemble 0 was to create an acoustic repertoire with few instruments, so that all the equipment could be carried to perform the music anywhere (in the street, in parks, in appartments and in music venues). Finally a few touches of electricity have been added on the album with the presence of Antoine Pasqualini’s modular synth.

ensemble 0 - Florent plays glockenspiel, JF plays ebows & guitar, Sylvain plays glockenspiel...

Singer songwriter Rima Kato interprets hundred-year-old works by Victorian poet Christina Rossetti on upcoming album Sing-Song. 
Filled with toy instrument daintiness and folk guitar bounce, what began as a retreat away from the world is a refreshing, pastoral bridge through time and space, connecting listeners with the words of Rossetti herself.

Rima Kato - A Ring Upon Her Finger

フジワラサトシ（Satoshi Fujiwara） - 祈り

We are proud to announce a new FLAU artist, Patrick Ellis @patrick, an artist from New York who participated in Machinone's Tokyo Remixes. The first of his releases is a best hit collection from his several mixtapes. It's a collection of glowing, shivering fragments sampled from a variety of records and put together with an outstanding pop sensibility. A dreamy sampling collage that swallows and sublimates various elements of disco, folk, ambient, electro and hip-hop. 
The Selected Works 2010-2015 will be out on digital tomorrow via Bandcamp, soon on all digital platforms.
His first album 'Deserter' is due to be released later this year.
