The first piano solo album from Yuki Murata, composer/pianist of Anoice and RiLF, contains her awesome gifts for playing the piano that have brought her many awards in competitions, and composing music admired by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Takeshi Kobayashi, famous Japanese musicians. Fantastically, she made this beautiful album by performing on a grand piano without preparation at her own home and recorded it nonstop.
This album contains excellent tunes such as "prologue," made for the charity compilation album "Hope," and "...and darkness came," the piano arranged version of Anoice's "Glitch." Also an out-of-this-world beautiful tune "me and G" that you won't believe was made by improvisation.
You are sure to be inspired by the pure warm sounds of the piano!!
For fans of classical music such as Claude Debussy and Sergei Rachmaninov, but also modern-classical music such as Jóhann Jóhannsson and Goldmund.
