Otoha, by Tomoyoshi Date

Otoha

by Tomoyoshi Date

supported by

Dave Aftandilian Delicate, minimalist piano compositions mixed with field recordings of a world ever in motion. I see the sun peeking out from behind a cloud, a newly planted sapling yearning towards it, and feel our tremendous responsibility to care for all the beauty in this fragile world that has been bequeathed to us.

MuleMeMule An album to get lost in. Gently unfolds. Worth repeat listnings.

keisha Composed between the date he discovered he'd be a father, to the day before his daughter's birth, this album reaches all the way down into the core of me. I spent most of a Sunday walking around a museum, listening to this.

about

Born in San Paulo, Brazil, where he lived until the age of three, Tomoyoshi Date currently resides in Tokyo, Japan where he works as an ER doctor who practices an integrated approach of Eastern and Western medicines. He creates acoustic and organic sounds with a little touch of digital processing producing a very original minimal music that combines the warmth of Brazil with the delicateness of Japan. Otoha was composed on piano, played at night between the period when Date was informed his daughter was expected and the day before her birth. His daughter Otoha's name means “the sound of leaves”.
