Sound is a wave. It matters not if we ponder this fact or ignore it; sound directly impacts our bodies, our minds and affect us all at a cellular level. When I touch my bow to these strings I feel in my bones that we humans are creatures whose existence connects the heavens and the earth.
For me performance holds the power of transformation. When I perform I become sound itself. Sometimes I vibrate with intense passion shaking the listener out of our set pattens of being. At other times I slow toward silence soothing and caressing our common sorrows. And sometimes I find myself filling the soundscape around me with sheer vibrance and delight.
For me, music embodies my deep gratitude for being born in this natural world. When I perform I am transformed into a filter between the mysterious energy of the universe and the beating hearts of the audience.

大地には溢れんばかりの愛 時に哀しみの渦
何ができるだろう 君とここで
Boundless Earth Brimming with love
Yet suffer change What is to be done with you
For me performance holds the power of transformation. When I perform I become sound itself.– Aska
my music
音は波動であり、気づくと気づかないとに関わらず、私たちの細胞に直接影響するものです。私は人間が地球の上で天と地をつないでいる存在であることを体感しながら音を出しています。 演奏するとき、私は音そのものになります。時には固まったものを激しく揺さぶるエネルギーを爆発させ、時には悲しみに寄り添う静けさを、そして喜びを空間に放ち、それが巡り巡って人や大地の内的な波動を整える流れを感じます。 私にとって音楽とは、この大自然に生かされていることへの感謝であり、演奏することは、宇宙の神秘のエネルギーを私というフィルターを通して人々の心に届けることなのです。

去年(2019)イタリアの叙情的なピアニスト、ミケーレファッジオさんのレコーディングに招かれ、ミラノのIndiehub レコーディングスタジオにて彼の美しい曲Water Circlesをduo録音しました。スタジオで初めてお会いしてすぐの録音でしたが、まるで旧知の仲のように、何かが天から降りてきた瞬間、音が音に導かれる神秘の波をお互いに感じていました。2テイクで終了。
早朝メイクもせず飛び出ていったヴィデオ(笑)、でも音楽の生まれる瞬間を皆様と分かち合うことができて嬉しいです。有難うございます。
彼のNew album はabeat record (Italy)より近日リリースされます。
March 2019, I was invited from the Italian lyrical pianist Michele Fazio to do duo recording of his beautiful song “Water Circles” at Indiehub recording studio in Milan. It was a recording right after we met in the studio for the first time, but it was like we knew each other for years. A moment as if something came down from heaven, the mysterious waves traveled between us. We finished in only two takes. I am happy I could share the moment that gave birth to this beautiful music . *His New album will be released soon from Abeat Record (Italy).
