Akira Kosemura In The Dark Woods

Combination of electronic and acoustic sound of piano, Wurlitzer, and
synthesizer with a string quartet, similar to the music heard from his previous
improvisational solo piano work "One Day" release from 2016. As indicated in
the title, an entire album is filled with an obscure darkness and a world of misty
sounds ever to be feared of, like a comfortable quietness in the dark where a
child in the womb is hearing mother's heartbeat. As the music goes on, it
gradually begin to widen an introspective worldview. The combined sounds of
repeated phrases as seen in minimal music method, a sophisticated crossover
sound in between acoustics and electronics, and an improvisational solo piano
will present the worldview suggestive of a broad theme, such as a circulation of
life or the law of nature. The highlights of the album "In The Dark Woods" and
its variations "Letter From A Distance" will leave the listeners with deep
emotions and afterglow.
