Hitomi Nishiyama - Echo

2024

Hitomi Nishiyama's long-awaited new work is "Echo" born in response to the 2023 work "Dot". Recorded by the same members on the same day as "Dot", this work contains seven colorful original songs with high stories in contrast to the prose and monochrome world of "dot". One album is developed like a suite, and in response to the co-stars, it depicts the new world of Hitomi Nishiyama. With the piano trio of Toru Nishijima (bass) and Noritake (drums) at the core, Suzuki Takanori (clarinet), Ryoji Hashizume (saxophone) and maiko (violin) are added, and the cooperation and feel and warmth of life are raised by the irregular composition of the instrument. It is a work full of vitality that powerfully expands the lyrical world that Nishiyama has cultivated so far.
