Takagi Masakatsu - Tamame ( D.S.edit )

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Amore (坂本龍一 Playing the Orchestra 2013)

Ryuichi Sakamoto  Amorosso

Cicada - Drowning In The Fog Of Yours

Itoko Toma, a Pianist and vocalist, releases her second album.
Besides her piano solo works and original songs as same music style as her previous album, but also includes songs composed with chamber music style, which brings more taste in this album.
This album is created with many inspirations from ‘sea’ which she felt in her daily life.  It begins with the song “shorebird”, which you will hear a gentle voice brings a bird floating on the sea wind.  Also, a supporting piano will draw a flow of waves created with arpeggio sounds of moving from lower tones to higher tones.  With this gently played piano without any intonation will show the image very clearly of the waves flowing.  Her dreamy and feathery world is expressed in the track “fantasia”, the strings arrangements will widens up the view, and the motif played with piano brings the light as a sea splash.  “horse from parallel”, a key track of this album, features a vocal as a major role of this song and a simple chord progression helps the enhancement of melodious sounds.  “when the word and the heart will mix well”, an adagio-like composition, is wrapped with heartwarming atmosphere with the daintiness and delicate strings arrangements.  The album ends with a gentleness tune of “cantabile”, with a singing of freely played piano, which echoes deeply to bring peacefulness.

For strings arrangement, track #3 done by Akira Kosemura, who is also a producer of this album, and track #9 done by Quentin Sirjacq, a French pianist and composer, who released his album under the same label SCHOLE.  Also, Hiroshi Iguchi as a sound engineer who supports the previous releases of Akira and Quentin, and Shin Kikuchi creates MV and designed for album covers using the visuals taken from her hometown, Okayama.  The album was produced by viewing Itoko Toma’s world through a SCHOLE filter.

About SCHOLE HOPE PROJECT 2(Relief project for Western Japan rain disaster in July 2018 and Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake 2018.)


On the summer of 2018, large-scale disasters frequently occurred in Japan, which left a great damage to various places. We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to all the victims of these natural disasters.
 
SCHOLE launched this project from the spirit of continuous and long-term support for the recovery from these disasters.

Wonderful musicians from our SCHOLE label and friends composed music especially for this project, and they will be digitally released. We hope listeners will enjoy these beautiful musical pieces to help support the steps toward a recovery.

Hope this project gives an opportunity to think what we can do now for the areas affected by natural disaster, not only in Japan but throughout the world, from listening to music we deliver. We appreciate to all the musicians/artists whom contributed music to support this project, and the label wishes to construct the circle of hope through the power of music.

By listening to the music, all the profit (excluding the cost of production) will be sent as donation to Japan Red Cross Society and disaster recovery organizations. Our label accountant will calculate the amount and transfer the money every once in three month.
