Sympathy for the Cut Melon Sympathy for the Cut Melon
Using the sounds of Panpipes, Handcrapping,Drums, Bass,Electric Piano and String-Mellotron-like Pads. I imagine Patrick Moraz on keyboards, Bill Bruford on drums and Richard Sinclair on electric bass,I don’t know if it works well.
November: Tamarack / The Huron Carol / Tamarack November: Tamarack / The Huron Carol / Tamarack
This work consists of three sections. The first and third sections are mainly in an odd time signature of 13/4, while the second section includes march in 2/2, jig in 2/2 and reel in 2/2.
Wings to Fly Wings to Fly
This is a kind of fight song or yell for someone flying away to the new worlds, including myself. I'm just starting a new job yesterday, September 11, 2023. The catchiest tune among my works by far.
March: Deep Water Lies Still March: Deep Water Lies Still
Music itself is mostly composed in an authentic way in the classical music except the many changes in the time signatures. I cannot explain why I employed such a way. It came into my head just like an inspiration. I wrote the sheet music as it was.
Overture: Arrival Overture: Arrival
This piece is an opening track of my second album, "Waterloo Suite". It starts like an ordinary classical music with cello, oboe, harp and string orchestra. At 2:53 it changes to prog rock, and at 3:26 it changes again to avant-garde rock style.
Waaatch! Waaatch!
Is this prog?...Maybe or not...Is this rock?...Maybe or not...I really don't know how I could categorize this piece. It's cute, funny and comical, you'll see twisted moments here and there. Just enjoy!
Highland's Riding / Melrose / The Flower of Magher Highland's Riding / Melrose / The Flower of Magher
There are three parts. The first part is a reel style in 4/4. The second part is a jig style in 6/8, and then the last part is a slow ballad in 4/4. The first theme by tin whistle is frequently employed through the end with some variations.
My Precious Life My Precious Life
The piece starts with the solo harp, and then with the chord by synth in the second verse, and then the fretless bass comes in with changing the atmosphere into the fusion music. Using the headphones is strongly recommended.
Into the Labyrinth Part 1 Into the Labyrinth Part 1
The fusion of Indonesian Gamelan percussions and Electro music, along with a partially atonal contemporary classical music. Here I employed several tens of percussions mostly in 5/4, with even time signatures overlapped, resulting in polyrhythm.

Impression of canoeing on the Grand River in Waterloo County on September 25th, 1999.

Beyond the Ascending Clouds Beyond the Ascending Clouds
This is my first attempt to compose my own music. I made everything I want to try get into the piece. Do you think if it is successful? Give me a comment.
Kaze no Mai (Wind Dance) Kaze no Mai (Wind Dance)
This piece was composed using traditional instruments of Japan, my home country with time signature of 7/8. 7 is one of the most often appearing number in Japanese Haiku, Waka and other Japanese literature. The whole structure is very simple.
Door of Sleep Door of Sleep
This is a relaxation music for insomnias. The main tune was taken from the middle part of "My Precious Life", and it may give the album some totalities. It should be noted that the work has only one and continuous ritardando.
Into the Labyrinth Part 2 Into the Labyrinth Part 2
This large work is what the experimental elements of "Into the Labyrinth Part 1" were widely expanded to and many other methods like fractal dimension structure were introduced to.
