Description:

This is the first release by Iori Kimura (Pf) and Kohei Morita (Ba), who also work together as the piano trio Primitive Art Orchestra, which has released three albums on the Playwright label. The two have known each other for 10 years, but this is the first time they have met one-on-one to create a duo work. They have brought out a new side of their musicality by incorporating elements of post-classical music, which they like in common, and creating a sound that they could not show in their usual activities or in a band. Pursuing a simple and natural sound, this album contains all the warmth of sound played by a pianist and a bassist in a hall called Yatsugatake Kogen Ongakudo, which is rich in natural resonance. The music is filled with scenes of the bounty of nature: the pleasant breeze blowing through the trees, the warm colors of the sun shining through the trees, the rain pouring down, and the earth full of life.
