hajime

The meaning of the Japanese word "hajime" is "beginning" and since this demo-tape is in fact a beginning i thought it might be an adequate title.

To be honest though, "hajime" is not really an album. It is a collection of little experiments I did in the course of the years (2009/2010). There are many things I don't like about several tracks: the piano sound is too harsh or the musical structure is uninspired etc ... it is a beginning, the first step to hopefully evolve musically.

One thing I tried though was to implement some kind of a narrative structure. I wanted to start with the "end" (Wild Tempered Elegy) and end with a beginning (hajime).

Hope you like it!
