Music for String Orchestra. I was inspired by French impressionism composers like Ravel, Debussy etc.... and wrote this piece. If you listen, you will know my love for those music. I had 30 min. for rehearsal/Recording and it was tough session.

Orchestra Piece, but I extend the idea from minor blues changes. This is all MIDI. I used Vienna Symphonic Library for this piece. Though samples sounds great, I hope to get live performers to record this piece someday.

"String Quartet" has 2 movements which are "Allegro Moderato" and "Adagio". Allegro Moderato is written in 6/8 rhythm and there is a fuge part in the middle section. The piece was performed by professional string quartet and recorded live.

Adagio is the 2nd Movement from 'String Quartet'. A slow piece written in 4/4. The piece was performed and recorded live at the concert by professional string quartet.

Flute: Naho Okada Piano: Satoko Sasabe This Tune was recorded on May 4th 2002 at New York City with fine young classical musicians.

Flute: Naho Okada Piano: Satoko Sasabe This is the 2nd movement of "Music for Flute and Piano". I tried to depict the river runs through the country towns and mountains toward the sea.

Flute: Naho Okada Piano: Satoko Sasabe 'Departure for the Sea' is the 3rd movement from my multi-movement piece 'Music for Flute and Piano'. This Tune was recorded on May 4th 2002 at New York City with fine young classical musicians.

I wrote 'Music for solo guitar' in 2001. I finished 2nd movement first and then start working on 1st. Because 2nd movement is based on Aeorian (E minor) mode, this movement starts from Ionian (E major).

This piece is the 2nd movement of 'Music for Solo Guitar'. I compose this in 2001. 3/4 time, presto(fast). Basic idea is coming from the Aeorian Mode. I tried to combine some latin rhythmic elements in this music.

Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, French Horn, and Bassoon.
