  • Description

    This music knows when to be gentle, when to be harsh; when to quiet down, when to erupt; it knows when to change, and
    it knows when to be still.

    A meticulously designed sonic organism that is living, breathing, and evolving. Makiko is listening.



    The keyboards take on many guises: at times a percussion instrument, a harp, a banjo, or a guitar, and at times
    a bit-crushed, distorted electronic voice - all forming a virtual orchestra that speaks in many tongues.



    Transformations of instrumental colour and harmonic space form a thread across the album, but, decidedly, not a goal-oriented narrative. There are rare precious moments where the composer pans an instrument from one ear to the other, very gradually. It is
    a beautiful sensation especially when listening with headphones.



    This music celebrates the beauty of subtlety, of limitations, of focus and persistence – it celebrates the complex sound world and the range of expression that these magical instruments over.



    It is a playful music, constructed with Makiko’s original and genuine language.
