I have been playing the piano since I was three. And what else? Um, I enjoy watching YouTube.


So, today is the release day of my new album ‘Human Universe.’ So, I just wanted to celebrate my new album. Came out finally.

Um, I’m gonna… I’m gonna speak a little bit in English. But, um, today I’ll mostly talk in English. Um, and, um, I’d like to play some tracks from the album ‘Human Universe,’ of course, with a little bit of improvisation, maybe.

So first, um, I’d like to start with main track called ‘Human Universe.’

Perfect.

‘Human Universe’ has two meanings. Human in the universe and universe in the human, which is my… my small universe. So, this is my admiration for the vast, huge universe and at the same time my, um, inner self. Small universe.

Here we go.


So the concept behind the album is, um, ‘Music of the Spheres.’

The ancient Greeks used to believe that there is a music in the universe and entire universe creates music and harmony.

Um, I know it might not be scientific or true, but… but I thought it’s very romantic and I got inspired from that.

So, ‘Music of the Spheres’ one of my… my key… key word for the album.

My composition, basically, usually starts from my improvisation.


What I usually do is to play very traditional classical, mostly baroque, music, as well as contemporary music, including my own music, so that people can feel everything is connected from the past to the future.

There’s always some interesting connections between classical music and modern music. And my own composition.


I have been doing improvising naturally since I was young, and it was quite a natural thing to me. I also improvise on jazz field and pop field sometimes.

But a few years ago I was struggling to, um, play in a… play each genres of music in the right way because with… um, unless I have to… unless I’m very, very careful, my… my Chopin can be too jazzy, for example. Which is not always a good thing.

I’m always trying to find a balance, but, well in general, it’s a good thing.

But, um, I… I experience so many genres of music.

And then I create my whole musicality.
