Free from human creation, and merely listening to the sound of nature.
Nashiki, an environmental/ambient composer pursues the sound of silence and non-self. The sense of unity with nature and life and hitherto unknown spiritual sounds are captured. They unfurl a world of sparkling images while emitting the sound of life itself.
Sympathy with Harmony (with notes by Yoshinari Nashiki)
【Sympathy with Harmony：Forest】
One who loves the forest will hear the forest
In the form of the wind swaying the trees,
A glimmering sunbeam streaming through,
And eventually glistening greenery.
Those who love the forest will hear the forest.
【Sympathy with Harmony：Stars】
If thousands of light particles filling the sky
Penetrate the land with their motionless presence.
A transient life shall only linger in silence.
【Sympathy with Harmony：Sea】
The ocean undulates from afar.
Sent straight from there is an esoteric voice.
Every single life form bows its head
Listening with deep reverence.
【Sympathy with Harmony：Winds】
The wind courses through the distant sky.
The wind courses through the green fields.
The wind courses through the old trees.
The wind courses through this sadness.
【Sympathy with Harmony：River】
Hear the light dancing on the river.
Hear the brilliance of water splashing
Rapidly intersecting.
Hear the quiet mind resting there.
【Sympathy with Harmony：Sylvan Sunlights】
Like one who was born in a sunbeam streaming through the foliage
I become nostalgic for the rays of light.
Like one who is dying in the sunbeam streaming through the foliage
I cherish the rays of light.
【Sympathy with Harmony：Lake】
The lake reclines peacefully.
On the surface of the water reflecting the mist lies a faintly undulating illusion.
Its reverberation never disappears.
【Sympathy with Harmony：Plateau】
The crystal clear blue light of the entire sky
Reflects and scatters over the stream’s innocent murmurs.
It stirs the green wind and penetrates the transparent mountain plateau.
【Sympathy with Harmony：Twilight】
The color that only the sunset displays.
The scent that only the sunset emits.
The sound that only the sunset transmits.
This expanse is known as the sunset.
This love is named sunset.
【Sympathy with Harmony：Countryside】
In the calm light of the sunshine.
Caressed by the wind blowing over a gentle hill.
Lying under the trees.
I want to be embraced by the light and the pastoral greenness.
