About
Written in Berlin and Tokyo, Ichiru is a tapestry of melodic, thoughtful and inspired compositions. Equipped with only an upright piano, a pair of microphones and his two hands, Hanada worked for the better part of a year on these pieces in bringing them to their final form. This simple but time consuming process resulted in a dozen catchy, warm and luminous pieces for solo piano. In this series of intimate vignettes, Hanada eloquently moulds delicate changes in mood into swirls of intense emotion, oscillating effortlessly between contemplative passages replete with beautiful resonances & uplifting flights of fancy.
