Tomoyoshi Date (also known as 1/2 of
Opitope) finally drops his long-awaited
1st full album "Human Being" - A
treasurous acoustic-electronic music
full of rich imagination and nostalgia.
The album consists of 6 splendid tracks
using live field recorded instruments
such as ukulele, piano, acoustic guitar,
vibraphone, harmonica and the accordions
etc. among children's voices and the
atmosphere of the environment which
reveals perceptive and delicate
perspective of the artist. The melodies
are miraculously beautiful and touching
and the overall texture is warm just
like the album title "Human Being" -
songs in praise of the mankind. These
fresh imaginary tracks could be referred
to the compositions of Eric Satie and
Debussy, sinking into your memories and
emotions peace and quietly.
An evergreen album dedicated to all
human beings.
