More on David Arkenstone:
“I’ve always considered myself sort of a painter – of sound. For a while now, I’ve been experimenting with many different new sound textures, and this recording is the result. The more I worked on the pieces, the more I was aware that the music was heavily influenced by my recent trip to Japan. My choice of sonic tonal colors seemed to reflect my many experiences there, from riding the shinkansen, to the lush countryside, the temples, the cities in the rain, and even walking through Tokyo at early dawn in a wide-awake trance, due to jet lag. It all seems sort of surreal now, and I think my ‘paintings’ allow me to travel back to that special in my memory. And it makes me look forward to when I can visit again.”
