Yasumune Morishige / Reizen Music for Piano CD
Edition OMEGA POINT OPX-007CD

This new recording is collaboration by Yasumune Morishige and Rezen. 
Yasumune Morishige is one of Japan's most unique voices of the cello, improvising musician. His sound is not only hard edge and deep but also sensitive, however, he has played with other artists almost than solo. 
Reizen has acted as ambient unit Nerae until several years ago. He plays guitar drone now, and the sound was released on PSF and Fylkingen.

In this recording, they played inside (and prepared) piano only. Especially Morishige's solo piano play is extremely rare. Reizen's sound is made from wires of piano vibrated by handy fan.
All tracks consists of their solo playing. 
Recorded in March and October / 2015. 

1st edition: metallic blue cover (ltd.90)
regular edition: black cover as standard of early OPX series
totally 200 copies.

チェロによる即興演奏で独自の境地を切り開く森重と、ギタードローンの冷泉が、なんとピアノだけを使った演奏をリリース！森重は時折ピアノの深い打鍵による驚異的な演奏を行なっているが、ここではピアノ内部奏法のみで様々なアプローチを見せる。一方冷泉は、ドローン演奏の延長として、ハンディ型ファンで弦を鳴らす方法をとる。日本では公私を問わずピアノの内部をいじることはほとんどタブーだが、OMEGA POINT提供のグランドピアノで、この暗く突き刺さるような異様な音響世界が実現した！豪華なメタリック調のジャケは限定90！同価格でシリーズ共通の黒ジャケもあり。
