Japanese-born composer and pianist Daigo Hanada has shared his new sophomore album ‘Satori’. The record is now available via Montreal-based imprint Moderna Records.
Due to a sudden and debilitating physical illness, Hanada’s output has sadly seen a small decline. Despite these complications, the artist found hope and has managed to create his most vulnerable and heart-wrenching work to date. Throughout 13 new original compositions, ‘Satori’ captures the process of navigating steadily in twilight, swaying in and out of the shadows as he follows the guiding light at the end.
‘The core idea for the record started with the second track, ‘Satori’. I actually have no knowledge of chords and music theory, but as you can hear in the track, is based on chords. It started with following my instinct to find the right sound when I was improvising the piece for the first time. Then I started seeing the whole picture for the record. ‘Shimmer In The Sky’ is the sister of ‘Satori’; they share almost the same chords, then the whole record developed from those two tracks’, says Hanada about the inspiration behind the new record.
