When I came summer, I spent the twilight at “Utano” in Kyoto.
Because there is a pond near here, there is a strange old-fashioned Japanese emotion and feeling still now.It was my pleasure to take a walk from the narrow path through the countryside, along the dark road along the mountain where the insect sounds.Especially at night “Utano” was full of darkness, there was a world different from reality.While I was walking through the world, I felt an indigenous feeling of Japan such as a lost “REIKI/(a spiritual atmosphere)” and “YOkI/(a ghostly atmosphere)”.Such a feeling changes design and is being forgotten in modern times.Things that are visible are given priority, and the existence of invisible things will fade away.It seems that modern Japanese people are moving their eyes only.It may be my prejudice.
One night, I decided to record the feeling I felt here through the method of composing.And I thought of expressing the night scene of “Utano"by music track.It was because I wanted to inform the scenery of the different world that exists in Japan.My this attempt may be outdated.If I leave the feeling there in the sound record, someone will know some day someday.Just because of that thought, I put the feeling as it was in music.Timbre is coloring sensation, and the chain makes a different world of music.The person feels it through the ears.When we learn how to feel it we will have a sense viewpoint.In this song, I tried to make the sounds felt in the land "Utano”.
Here I will leave a record of “Utano” in 4:18. 冥 亭 / MEI-TEI
