About

In his compositions Yoshihiro Kanno bases himself on three idioms: Western instrumental music, Japanese traditional instruments, and computer music - combining these various elements freely.

The pianist Noriko Ogawa is a champion of Kanno's music and has commissioned three of the works on the present disc, including the so-called 'Particle of Piano' series. The 'Particle series' is framed by two works which both incorporate computerized sounds – in the case of the opening Angel's Ladder, it is the sound of the piano itself which at crucial points is processed, and in Lunar Rainbow it is that of a toy piano.

The disc closes with the brief Prelude for Angel, composed in 1985 for the animated film 'Angel’s Egg' (Tenshi no tamago) by Mamoru Oshii.
