about

CLASSICAL COMPOSER series. Vol.1 - BACH

I made this piece for the Fashion show by YAJUN in 2018.
The designer Melody asked me to use this Bach song, Prelude No.2.
So I asked *Danny Meyer to program this Bach melody with microtones. That was beginning of this project.

Bach’s composition is very familiar to everyone and has an eternal beauty.
What is fascinating about this piece is that it’s very architected— we can still enjoy listening to it in reverse. This structure made me think of a movie, Tenet.

I thought it’s nice to approach this piece by Bach from a current technological view. We are still dealing a pandemic state of mind and the mysteries of time like during Bach’s era, but the same hope for healing from the sounds for a more opened space-time.

P.S. I added an old Japanese poem by Ono no Komachi on the cover art. A sign that universal feelings remain unchanged within us from a long time ago.

For this recording, Danny wrote a transcription of the Bach composition in just intonation. "While this music was written for an equal-tempered keyboard, it's still exceptionally tonal and so it's nice to hear the intervals played in tune."

The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We
by Mitski

supported by 5 fans who also own “Classic Composer Series Vol.1 - Bach”

I remember seeing everyone freak out on twitter when this was announced. I had literally zero idea what Mitski's music even was like apart from bits of Nobody & Washing Machine Heart, so when it came out I had no idea what to expect. I think that deciding to listen to this album was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Every single song is a standout track to me, which I don't say lightly. It also led me to listen to the rest of her discography, which I haven't regretted in the slightest. praisedrays
