“Yuki Murata” released the new music Album “24 Piano Sketches”
“Yuki Murata” just dropped the new and hot Album “24 Piano Sketches”. It will contain the songs 'siesta', 'the flower orchard', 'on the fluffy ground', 'water-shaped hammock', 'nostarsia', 'squall', 'a closed photo book', 'wandering', 'river of lights' and 'the summer when you were' total of 24songs. Enjoy the Instrumental sound from the far east Asia.
Daily piano sketches which draw 24 seasons, over a year.
This is the sixth solo album from the Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films, Yuki Murata who fascinates music fans in the world by her lovely melodies and piano sounds.
As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. Starting with having released the first track of the album, 'siesta' as a single on April 1st, 2024, this long project has added 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.
This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.
The photos taken by her bandmate of Anoice, Takahiro Kido, on his Polaroid camera every season, are adopted as the cover images of each single.
You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.
