Anoice, Takahiro Kido, Yuki Murata : HELLO WORLD - Concert Exclusive Compilation Album (to be released on 4th November, 2023)
Make a moment that last forever.
'HELLO WORLD' is a concert-exclusive compilation album of masterpieces which feature chamber music from the dark and cinematic instrumental ensemble, Anoice and the solo projects of two members of Anoice, Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata.
The songs in this compilation album were selected from all of their works released between Anoice's debut album 'Remmings' up until now, by the artists themselves, and then Takahiro Kido once again mixed and mastered them. It features beautiful and passionate neoclassical songs mainly formed by a piano and string instruments.
Additionally, this album includes the unreleased orchestra version of 'the light' included in Anoice's 5th album 'Ghost in the Clocks'. For the recording, eight violinists, three violists, three cellists, two bassists, and a flutist joined as guest instrumentalists. Takahiro Kido conducted them and Yuki Murata also played the piano. Those imposing and magnificent sounds have succeeded in pushing the beauty of the original version to its highest level.
This album will be pressed on CD and will then go on sale from the solo concert of Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata in Almaty, Kazakhstan on November 4th, 2023, and later on at forthcoming concerts in Bangkok, Hong Kong, New York, and Tokyo for which Anoice and its members are making plans now.
The compilation album 'HELLO WORLD' will be released on a digipack-specificationed CD for the first time for Ricco Label. The same as previous releases from Anoice and its solo/side projects, Yuki Murata, RiLF, and Films, MATSURICA a project of the illustrator, Naoko Okada, took charge of the beautiful artworks and her creations invite you to feel the essence of Japan.
