Japan
While the world holds its breath, watching the horrible things happening in Japan, I suggest some emotional digestion. If possible. On Soundcloud, i follow 3 Japanese; listening to their songs & sounds now, is stirring for me. Like history puts over new meaning to these songs. Now i don’t want to put you in a depressive mood, but i felt the need to post these.
First, start this first piece of Makoto Okuda, then play the Youtube-Video at the same time. (Fullscreen works best)
Then, play the next two side-by-side. The piece by Shinichiroa presents the sound of some untroubled times in japan, while Rintaro Iwashita’s Fog Alert is also very close to today’s mood. The two played together, with today’s perspective, deliver this diffuse disturbance I’m feeling right now.
3 pieces by 3 Japanese affected by this catastrophies remind us, that behind every number in the news, there is a personality. With own feelings, their expression, ups and downs. Lets think of them sending strength in these days.
