about

The second in our collaborative releases as part of the Otocare project.

Otocare was founded by Yu Morishita and Hikari Sandhu from the University of Tokyo and Nick Luscombe from MSCTY_Studio, to research the use of sound recordings to improve the wellbeing of staff and patients in high-stress medical environments. Otocare’s mission is to foster a deep sense of wellbeing through sound.

The second release features four traditional folk songs, performed on violin by Midori Komachi, who also arranged each piece. Nick Luscombe (MSCTY_Studio) recorded the forest sounds at Yamanakako in Japan and blended Midori's violin to create a new mix.

The tracks featured are as follows:

Down by the Salley Gardens (Irish Folksong arr. Midori Komachi)

Hamabe no Uta /Song of the Seashore (Tamezo Narita arr. Midori Komachi)

The Water is Wide (Scottish Folksong arr. Midori Komachi) - this song is also known as O Waly Waly in Wales, and Hiroi Kawa no Kishibe in Japanese

Home Sweet Home (English Folksong arr. Midori Komachi) - this song is also known as Hanyu no Yado in Japanese


このアルバムは、小町碧（こまち みどり）が編曲し演奏した4曲の民謡と、ニック・ラスカムが山中湖の森で集めたフィールドレコーディングを用い構成されています。
