Run To You

This is the 23rd track and a gentle and warm piano solo song featuring a nostalgic sound, included in '24 Piano Sketches' that is a new solo album from Yuki Murata, the Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films.

As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. This long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.

This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.

The photos taken by her bandmate of Anoice, Takahiro Kido, on his Polaroid camera every season, are adopted as the cover images of each single, and they will added together with the songs to the following BandCamp page every time a single is released.

You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.

reunion (Anoice / Yuki Murata '24 Piano Sketches')

LAMENT is for piano quintet and empty chair, dedicated to my dear friend, Laura Flax. Laura, the first female clarinetist of the New York City Ballet Orchestra and member of the Da Capo Chamber Players, was a fierce inspiration. I planned to meet up with her in NYC on a recent trip, but when I found out that she had passed, I was too numb to speak.

Like metal to a magnet, I was drawn into my studio and stared at my music notation software, unable to move. One lone, long note pushed through waves of grief. It came again, and again. I finally wrote it down but struggled. My familiar harmonic colors felt so shallow in light of my intense grief. I needed something deep. Suddenly I remembered the last time I heard Laura play. It was a Messiaen piece, which he wrote in a concentration camp. It then knew its octatonic mode brought the depth of color to my sound palette that I needed. 

Lament travels through undulations of numbness, anger, denial, and ends with a final surrender to acceptance. Though the empty chair represents my own friend's absence, performers are free to use the empty chair to represent any loss of their own. 

Laura, job well done.

A thing coming

I am a pianist and composer writing music for vocalists searching for a song, game- and film music. I compose pieces in all genres from  jazz, latin, fusion, prog-rock, electronic to classical and more. All my uploads are original compositions - written, performed & recorded by myself in my very basic home studio setup based on Studio One software and a Yamaha workstation.
