音と音の間にある
静寂こそが
音楽である
The silence between sounds
is itself
the music
"I want to see how sounds behave in a room,
— Ryuichi Sakamoto
not in a performance but as an installation.
Sound should fill space like water."
A sound installation for one listener. Decaying piano tones recorded in empty rooms. Field recordings of rain, wind, static. Each sound exists independently — asynchronous — refusing to resolve into harmony.
The album was composed after his cancer diagnosis. Every note carries the weight of impermanence. Wabi-sabi rendered in sound: beauty in decay, completeness in fragmentation.
