Yoko Suzuki's second album, a pianist and composer/arranger who is expanding her activities across countries and genres.

*All songs are originals by Suzuki Yoko.

*A minimalist arrangement of piano, drums and bass allows for a mixture of improvisational dialogue and compositional approaches to paint a variety of different scenes.

*The sound engineer is Matsushita Shinya, who has been in charge of recording on numerous jazz albums. With a deep understanding of music and working closely with the musicians, the album produces a deep sound that feels as if it were cut out from the space.

*The album cover and booklet feature paintings by the internationally active and up-and-coming artist Miyabayashi Hinako, and the design is by Tsushima Takeo, who is also active as a filmmaker and photographer.

*The enclosed booklet contains liner notes by music researcher Nakanishi Mitsuo.
