Pre-Order: Zephyr [CD]

During the darkest of the lockdowns, I took my daughter to an open field near our home. In a time when the world felt shuttered and small, walking was our only escape from the suffocating stillness. As we reached the field, a sudden sensation washed over me-a quiet awakening. It wasn't just the spring breeze or the scent of the grass; it was a sudden reminder of what being alive meant. I felt I had been touched by Zephyr, the Greek god of the west wind, sparking a renewed wish to create and perform for the world once more.Liberte': A piece exploring and searching for emotional freedom.Zephyr: Named after the gentle west wind, this track served as the primary source of inspiration for the entire album.Fushigi no Kuni: Translating to "Wonderland" in Japanese, this piece was inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll.A Troubadour in the Moonlight: A composition and improvisation depicting a minstrel serenading a loved one beneath the moon.For Misato: A heartfelt dedication to Misato-san, my dear friend who departed too young.The five songs above are composed by Yukari.Eurus, Suibokuga, Pandora's Box, Don't Follow the Piper, and Au crépuscule are collective improvisations.
