We are pleased to announce yet another addition of a talented artist to noble
label, the label of "music for everyday life." noble will release the second
album by kashiwa daisuke, an up and coming artist whose first album released in
2006 by GermanyÆs onpa label received rave reviews mainly in the European
community.
kashiwa daisuke turned solo in 2004 after achieving success as a guitarist/
composer in several bands from high school. His demo sound source received
outstanding response once it was put on air in Ryuichi SakamotoÆs radio program.
His later released 1st album shed brilliant light on the world after electronica
and post rock through its beautifully flowing oriental melody and composition
with strong visual elements. A year and a half since then, kashiwa has proudly
completed his 2nd full album to further introduce his talents to the world.
The album titled "program music I" is compiled of 2 songs lasting 36 minutes and
27 minutes each. In the last album, kashiwa turned his inner images into sound.
This time, he chose 2 stories as a motif and ventured to express that story
through sound. This is not simply a soundtrack that showcases a story but the
story itself is told through music. The first song "stella" tells the story of
the "Night on the Milky Way Railroad" and the second song "write once, run
melos" is based on the story, "Run Melos!"
The all too transparent scenery of "Night on the Milky Way Railroad" is
characterized by a magical cosmic view engraved by deep thought. "Run Melos!"
portrays speed and the wavering spirit of the characters. This album dynamically
portrays these story characteristics through lyrical melody and ingenious
arrangement.
This is a stunning masterwork that speaks of musician kashiwa daisukeÆs rich
creativity and his passion for creation and proudly exploits the possibilities
of musical expression.
