Pre-Hear

Piano music from Japan, with connections to the world of visual art. Dai Fujikura's moromoro is a hectic cinematic fantasy, with electronics that disperse the piano's sonority over a much wider canvas than is conventionally available. Toru Takemitsu's Les yeux clos II is a still-life, drawing its title from a painting by the French Symbolist artist, Odilon Redon Hiroaki Takenouchi, piano.
