Transparent Pink. Limited to 150 copies. Catalog Number: PRAH074LP Color: Pink Format: LP UPC: 5060918154665 Japanese visual artist and musician Yoshino Shigihara returns with the vibrant, beautiful music of her main project Yama Warashi (translates as 'small childlike mountain spirit') on new EP At My Mother's Piano. Enriched by the kaleidoscopic influence of Japanese folk dance, free jazz, African music and psychedelia, Shigihara illustrates the ever-evolving qualities of Yama Warashi on At My Mother's Piano, crafting exquisite, improvisational solo piano works interlaced with vivid field recordings, inspired by a trip back to her family home in Ashiya City, Hyogo, Japan earlier this year. Across seven enchanting, impressionistic works, Shigihara manoeuvres between music of refined dexterity and mesmerising stillness. On the opening track, named after the Hankyu Denshya train line near her mother's home, Shigihara combines charming piano variations with the environmental and conversational sounds recorded on an idyllic train journey to Kyoto, taken by Shigihara, her sister and her mother; an excursion of light conversation, 'velvety moss-green seats' and 'cherry trees' observed from train windows.
