about

Daily piano sketches which draw 24 seasons, over a year.

The Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films, Yuki Murata who fascinates music fans in the world by her lovely melodies and piano sounds, will release her new solo album '24 Piano Sketches' from April 1st, 2024 to March 20th, 2025.

As the name suggests, ‘24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. Starting with releasing the first track of the album, 'siesta' as a single on April 1st, 2024, this long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.

This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.

The photos taken by her bandmate of Anoice, Takahiro Kido, on his Polaroid camera every season, are adopted as the cover images of each single, and they will added together with the songs to this BandCamp page every time a single is released.

You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.

Remembrance
by Helios

supported by 4 fans who also own “24 Piano Sketches”

Helios' and Mint Julep's tracks are exemplary. The music is just... timeless, enigmatic, with such organic and soulful sub-notes - it's impossible to not love and fall deep into the magical, musical abyss of all of their music. It's absolutely surprising and incomprehensible to me how these artists are not as famous and followed as they should be. The music is just pure. Just pure... atkhan
