Search - Chihei Hatakeyama :: Saunter

2009 release from the Japanese musician. Saunter casts out lush layers of texture that seem to sound out the edges of landscape. The sounds dynamic fluctuations suggesting structures, trees, fields and other aspects dotting the landscape in which Hatakeyama finds himself. Focused particularly on the transition from Fall to Winter, this record is a graceful and considered work. Elegantly crafted with an attention to subtle melodic variation and harmonic richness Saunter is a `visionary' collection from one of Japan's finest composers.
