Description
A remastered edition of the solo album "out of noise," released in 2009 as the first release after moving to commmons. Unreleased tracks have been added, and the album was remastered under the artist's supervision.
A quiet, entirely instrumental work, this is the first original solo album to use no synthesizers whatsoever.
Primarily featuring piano and natural sounds, the album includes guest appearances by the British early music ensemble Fretwork, shō player Tamami Higashino, and a diverse range of string players from the gagaku ensemble Nanto Kōyōkai, Keigo Oyamada, Hirotaka Shimizu, Ren Takada, Christian Fenes, and Rob Moose.
It also includes "disko," "ice," and "glacier," which were strongly influenced by the artist's experience in the Arctic during the album's production.
"glacier" was later used in the films "The Revenant" (directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2016) and "Monster" (directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, 2023).
