“My name is Rayne Roberts and I’m a director, producer, and executive at Lucasfilm… Oh, and I LOVE your music.”

This email launched one the highlights of my life, inviting me to work with an incredible team and compose the score for Rayne's stunning short film about love and addiction named "It's Snowing Outside". I then travelled to San Francisco to complete the sound mix at the extravagant Skywalker Ranch with some of the best engineers in the world. The film is currently on the festival circuit, and I am delighted to share this track from the score with you.

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the music!

P.S. This piece comes before "And she translated into the sky" in the film soundtrack, so you may hear some familiar themes mixed in.

Saturday (Hushed) - Piano Day 2022

Everything Flows

As some of you already know, I'm not too big on social media. Sure, I'll use some of the more popular outlets to share these words on all this music, mostly because I think that's where you all hang out. Sometimes it feels like entering a packed and loud bar and just quietly saying in the corner, "Hey, did you hear about this new album by Akira Kosemura?" and then retreating for the night to my quiet studio, where the noise in my memory of this encounter is finally relieved by the sound of the piano keys. I feel like every year, I make an offhand comment about the insanity of the world, and every year it seems to get a little worse. The news, in particular, appears to be an amplified magnet of defilements intensely blinking for attention at the top of the roof. But I won't comment on the headlines and instead attempt to make my own. Today I am premiering for you a piece from Kosemura's new soundtrack for a film called "Rudy", which is scheduled to be released via his own Tokyo-based Schole imprint on September 15th. This is a beautiful collection of 31 vignettes, where "the piano plays a central role, and the listener is transported by the emotion of the compositions of this internationally acclaimed pianist." The human condition is explored on every single track, with a slightly melancholy, touching, quiet tone, perfectly capturing the overall sentiment of the storyline, whether the images unfold on the screen or in my mind behind closed eyelids. I think you will enjoy this little gem.

Looking in the Same Direction

TRACK PREMIERE : Akira Kosemura - Looking In The Same Direction

I got a new digital piano last night. It's got a completely different feel to it, much more realistic. This means that the "patterns" of notes I often play feel completely different so it's more like I've got new fingers!!!

Hope Rings Brightly

The title of this album my attempt at translating the Farsi phrase قارچ‌های غربت to English. It comes from the poem "The Sound of Water's Footsteps" by Iranian poet Sohrab Sepehri. 

A more literal translation of the phrase would be Mushrooms of "Ghurba", an originally Arabic word that has several meanings, including senses of estrangement, alienation, loneliness, being away for home, and longing.

I composed many of these pieces during and after Israel's 12 day war on Iran in the summer of 2025. Being  an Iranian living abroad for 15 years, I had never felt Ghurba the way I felt it this summer, as I realized more and more that Iranian lives matter to exactly no one.
Ghurba and all its meanings overshadow most of the pieces in this album. 

The music heard on this post is the final track, which is an improv piece with the same title as the album.

In the album art, I tried to depict a mycelial network creeping up the piano and my body, and expanding into the ground, maybe a thread or two reaching the other side of the world where home is.

As Sepehri's poem says "Who cares if sometimes the mushrooms of ghurba start to grow?" 

You are right Sohrab, nobody does...
