[Taichi Chishaki/Comment]
This song concludes Taichi Chishaki’s first EP “Scenes from Ash” released by NEXTVIEW Labels. Through this EP I have written about asymmetry and pathos, but as an outro for the EP, I wrote “The Way” with the imagination of a path that continues from the past to the future. The themes are repeated as a way to express the path. This song is made up of simple sound combinations without using a lot of sounds that play simultaneously. The floating chord progressions and gentle melody are also important points to listen to.
This album is a simple combination of sounds that makes the song even more pronounced.
Each and every sound played will naturally soak into your heart, gently soothe your listeners’ hearts.
Taichi Chishaki’s “The Way” is now available on various streaming and download sites.
