This is great! Thank you for collaborating with Alex! You guys sound great together!

I never thought that Winter can be so beautiful until I heard this piece.

Yuka Kitamura and Alex Roe present Seasons, a collaboration of easy listening and emotive compositions portraying each season. It's been a few years since we first talked about the idea of working together but in 2021 we were finally able to do it, and to my surprise it became a small album! I think now was the perfect time to do it and I hope everyone enjoys this album as much as we enjoyed writing it. 

It's not the usual collaborative effort either. We first chose which were our favourite seasons: Kitamura chose Spring and Winter and I chose Summer and Autumn (although I think we had to discuss that a bit haha). It starts with Spring which Kitamura started and we passed the song back and forth like a relay. And I started Summer which we passed back and forth too. I wonder if you can tell who takes over from who? Then for the other two seasons we wrote the songs ourselves but tried to emulate the other persons style, so I tried to write an Autumn song in Kitamura's style and she wrote a Winter song in my style. I'm very proud of the result and it was a really fun way to work together, I would be very honoured to work together again some day.

Seasons by Yuka Kitamura & Alex Roe:  Autumn ~ Beauty Of The Northern Village ~

Demo Song #1 - World-

Demo Song #2 - Easy listening -

Demo Song #3 - Electronic-

“Spring ~ A Journey of Water ~”

This is a collaboration song with Alex Roe.(https://soundcloud.com/roetaka)
And it’s one of the song from the album “Seasons” that we made. 

“Seasons” has 4 tracks and we decided to make “Spring” and “Summer” like a relay. 
It was just like a jam session, each person wrote a short section about 1~2 minutes, then passed back them like a baton.

It was very fun for me and I really learned many things from his music.
Please enjoy the difference in our style.

この曲は作曲家Alex Roe氏とコラボして制作しました。
コラボアルバム「Seasons」の中の１曲です。

「Seasons」には４曲のトラックがあり、「春」、「夏」の楽曲は
各々が1〜２分の短いセクションを書き、それらをリレーの様に受け渡しながら制作していきました。

「春」は私が主導、「夏」はAlex氏が主導の元、制作しています。

楽曲リレーを行おうとAlex氏から提案を頂いた当初は、
今までひとりで１楽曲を完成させることが当たり前だった私にとって
とても難しいことに感じていました。

曲の接続の仕方も自由で、盛り上げたところで渡してみたり、
もっと聴きたい！という流れの中で次の番が回ってきたりと、
ジャズのアドリブまわしの様な創造的な体験でした。

彼の音楽から学ぶことは多く、とても楽しい経験となりました。
私たちの作風の違いを、ぜひ聴き分けながらお楽しみください。

Alex Roe氏とのコラボアルバム「Seasons」の中の１曲です。
コラボということで、リレー楽曲以外の２曲「秋」と「冬」は、
お互いの音楽スタイルを取り入れて曲を書いてみることにしました。

Alex氏は多くのPianoを用いた心地よい曲を書いており、今回は
そこからインスピレーションを得て書き始めました。
普段自分では使わない、４拍子のゆったりとしたテンポ感の中で展開を考えるのも
楽しい時間でした。
サブタイトルはAlex氏がこの曲を聴いたインスピレーションから付けてもらいました。
