PROGRAM NOTE

君の逝った春は
Spring when you passed away

...長い時間がかかるかもしれない。でも胸に開いた穴を埋めるためにこそ、きっと人は生きていくのだ。帰天した多くの魂が安らかでありますように、そしてこれから生きていくための勇気をみなそれぞれが得られるよう祈ります。

...I believe that each person has their own way of healing. It might take time, however, to find the future direction for our lives. May all those who have departed move peacefully on, while we who remain, bravely may we also move on. I dedicate this piece with a prayer for all.

リメンバリング・アニマル・センダイ
Remembering Animal Sendai

ヒバリプロジェクトのために書かれた曲。幼少時代に家族と3年住んだ仙台の、想定外の惨事について、じっくり考える機会を与えてくれた。...過去の作品と合体させることで、未来へ向けて前進する意味合いをこめた。...

Remembering Animal Sendai (2011) was composed for the Hibari Project. It gave me pause to contemplate the mythic scale of devastation of Sendai in the spring of 2011, where my family and I lived for three years during my childhood... I tried to make sense of the present and move forward into the future by coalescing pieces of the past...
