Description
With "Ululo", pianist and composer Koki Nakano immerses us in the depths of his
emotions, carried by the striking voices of Jordy, WAYNE SNOW and Yael Naim.
For his fourth album, Japanese pianist and composer Koki Nakano moves beyond
the conceptual to reveal an intimate and visceral musical expression, a reflection of
his deep emotions. Each piece conveys the desire and passion of a cry. The title
"Ululo" (which translates to "Howl" or "Cry" in Latin) echoes a childhood memory of
being in his father's arms, yearning to touch the moon. This unfulfilled desire,
reminiscent of a famous haiku by famous poet Issa Kobayashi, symbolizes his early
realization of his limitations in the face of the vastness of the world and the seemingly
unattainable. Koki reinvents himself with a unique fusion of piano and modern vocal
collaborations. He is joined by UK rap sensation Jordy and the captivating voices of
WAYNE SNOW and Yael Naim. He offers an avant-garde music style distinguished
by its emotional simplicity and sonic depth. Beyond virtuosity, Koki explores his
classical sensibilities by blending subtle ambient textures with his poignant and
sophisticated melodies. While "Ululo" is a cry of frustration with melancholic tones, it
is also romantic, filled with beauty, humor, and light.Description
