Music agent site “ZULA (reading: ZULA, https://zula.jp/ Massenext Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo), which operates “”, has begun streaming noxs’ first Digital Single, “notturno,” at midnight on Friday, June 13th, on the post-classical specialty label “NEXTVIEW Labels (Minato-ku, Tokyo).” “notturno” is now available through various music streaming services and download services.
Noxs, a new unit by composer and pianist Taichi Chishaki (Taichi Koki), who has many fans not only in Japan but also overseas, and Nagai Hidekazu, a member of the N nulls and known for providing music for numerous concerts and video works, has released their first single, “notturno” on NEXTVIEW Labels today.
“notturno” is an Italian word that means “night.”
As the name suggests, this song was born from the silence of the night.
This piano recursive piece features beautiful yet somewhat shaky melody and the dissonant sounds hidden within its simple structure.
The harmony of the songs is carefully designed around the beauty of the afterglow, and the melody has a nostalgic feeling and emotion that reminds you of Japanese nursery rhymes. The knowledge of classical music that the two Noxs have cultivated, along with the Japanese culture and sensibilities, has blended together, and has become a song that has been transmitted to the world as “Japanese-style music” that resonates with the present day, beyond the boundaries of post-classical.
Noxs’s “notturno” is now available on various streaming and download sites.
