Business Overview
I wanted this solo composition exhibition, vol.3, "Ohanashi to Ongaku," to be the groundwork for an opera I plan to write and compose in the future. There is a lot of abstract contemporary music in the world, but in this project I aimed to present works that can be easily conveyed to many people. In order to do this, he drew contemporary music works that are not separated from society, that can be greatly sympathized with by various people, or that can inspire them to think for themselves, by incorporating themes and stories of words.
