Yasushi Yoshida has released three albums; Secret Figure (2006), Little Grace (2008) and Grateful Goodbye (2010) on MIDI creative/noble. The piano, the wind and the strings weave tapestries of tranquil notes, that are full of sadness as well as vibrancy and vitality. The soundscape is so eloquent and storytelling that listeners bring back their own stories. His works have also been used on a number of films and stages. “Heavenly Me”, recorded on his fourth album, appeared as the sole track on the latest film “Gui aiueo:S”, directed by Go Shibata (Late Bloomer, Doman Seman, etc). His first full album in six years, entitled Heavenly Me Last Days, is due to be released in summer 2016 on tuba…disk.
全８曲が収録。ピアノを中心としてバイオリン、チェロが静謐な空間に彩りを添えている。音数を極限まで削ぎ落とした室内楽のような趣きである。まるでエストニアの音楽家、arvo partを彷彿とさせる。全体を通して打ち込み音は存在しておらず、凄まじく生々しい空間になっている。様々な「別れ」にともなう喪失感、虚無感、無力感を前にしてただ立ち尽くしていた者が、きっと力強くまた歩きはじめる、そんな一連のドラマをただ傍観するのではなく、寄り添い認めてれるような、とてつもなく力強い生命力に満ちあふれた作品。アートワークには日本屈指の銅版画の巨匠「浜口陽三」。７曲目は柴田剛最新作映画の主題曲として使用。
