Description:

Debut full-length album by the ten-i muhou pianist, Kaihatsu Kihira! Kihei's beautiful melodies that grab the heart, his unconventional, stylish, and comfortable harmonies, his ever-changing and dramatic song development, and the precision with which he delicately spins mental landscapes and the boldness with which he straightforwardly expresses them, all make Kihei a one-of-a-kind charmer. Kyle has been dealing with sensory overload since childhood due to a developmental disability, and has continued to express the sounds of the wind, birdsong, and all things in the forest through musical notes. FLYING" is a piece that brings soft scenes to mind as you listen to it, and you can enjoy the pure worldview of each note cloaked in a gentle light. The album includes the concert favorite "Winds Send Love," "No Tears Forever," and "Songs Over Words," which were written as a prayer for the Corona disaster, as well as solo piano pieces by Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin, whom Kyle has always loved. Capustin's beautiful and stylish compositions, which combine classical music and jazz at a high level and require superb technique, can be said to be Kyle's bible. FLYING" is a work of Kyle's "flying" spirit. Available from: E-Plus Music
